Scrub Daddy earns rave reviews for cleaning performance and versatility, with users replacing traditional sponges thanks to durable scrubbers that don’t smell, adapt firmness with water temperature, and safely tackle everything from nonstick pans to glass stovetops and bathrooms. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some scrubbers shed or tear within weeks, can be too stiff or bulky, struggle with hot‑water scrubbing needs, trap food in pores, and raise sustainability concerns.

  • The changing density based on temperature makes these particularly useful when hand washing dishes or trying to remove stuck on food before loading the dishwasher.

  • I did not like this product. I saw the ads about all the qualities of this sponge, but in reality, it was disappointing. I thought the change would occur changing from hot to cold water, but you need ICE water to make it happen. So you have to actually have a bowl with water and ice to make it hard again. impractical and not as good as shown.

  • These scrub daddy’s work on almost everything! My kitchen sink comes out spotless every time. I thought they were too hyped up then I tried one. I can’t go back!!

  • I will only buy scrub daddy! No more yucky sponges that stink of mildew after a few days. I love that my scrub daddy doesn’t smell, it dries quickly, and does a great job at scrubbing my dishes clean!

  • I only just recently starting using these, but have to say, they are legit. For someone who hand washes all their dishes, its kind of a big deal. My go too washing tool for the foreseeable future.

  • This thing actually works. And lasts so long! And doesn’t smell like other sponges do sometimes.

  • I'm not a fan of the Scrub Daddy. I think it gets too mushy with warm water and also gets dirty easily. because food gets stuck in the large pores. I will not buy this product again. I prefer more traditional sponges either dual sided with a scrubber side or the sponges that's wrapped with a soft scrubbing material.

  • Scrub Daddy has made me actually look forward to cleaning! These products are effective, durable, and budget-friendly, all while being environmentally responsible. Especially the Damp Duster. Gamechanger! I highly recommend giving Scrub Daddy a try.

  • Love how functional and unique the hole in the product is. It worked great for cleaning thinner utensils like chopsticks, spoons, and knives.

  • This is literally the best sponge for cleaning!! Amazing

  • Seriously the best. I can't stand the smell of a musty sponge and these do not get that at all. They are effective at cleaning, hold up well and are easy to use. I bought a little holder that goes onto the side of my sink and that's really great too.

  • I don't know what it is.. but they work great on everything!

  • Scrubs well, and keeps clean. Does not smell after mulitple uses and is very durable.

  • I absolutely love my scrub daddy. It works so well to reach hard crevices and I love how I can use it for so many things. It lasts a long time and as someone who does not have a dishwasher - I feel that my scrub daddy is an essential to have.

  • I love scrub daddy. Their products are out of this world. I can get just about anything clean using their products and their sponges have lasted me a very long time. These are high quality and so worth your money.

  • Finally a sponge that doest collect bacteria or smell!! thank you for this invention

  • I use it on my cast iron (without soap) and it does an okay job getting the stuck on bits off. One downside is the sponge does not release grime well even after a few runs through the dishwasher. I have repurchased this a couple times, however, it does not replace my need for a normal sponge.

  • The scrub daddy is so great! Since trying one out last year it’s all in use to wash my dishes. I recently tried the scour daddy.. and man! That thing really cleans off the grime off pots and pans. It even helped clear the bottom of my pans. Def takes some elbow grease but works really well. Just make sure to test the area in case it scratches the material.

  • I wish it lasted longer! It is a cute sponge for sure but it really is just a sponge.
