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.

  • It’s a sponge which isn’t super exciting but they are cute and work well.

  • The sponges hold up to a lot of abuse. I typically go for the scrub mommy (dye free) as the dual use is especially convenient. Apparently you can use the "mouth" cut-out for utensils, but I find it somewhat awkward. Need to try the soap dispenser and the scouring pads next.

  • LOVE scrub daddy products. We have 3 around the house now that are used for cleaning the kitchen, sinks, stove, floors, walls and pretty much anything else that gets crusty. Perfect product, I hope they never change them. (Can’t wait to find a scrub daddy mop near me!!!!!!)

  • Never using any other sponge other than scrub daddy sponges. The biggest win for this brand is that the sponges do not smell!!!!!! I hate when I use a sponge and it smells and therefore your hand smells after using it (like you are washing and cleaning dishes your hands should not smell from a product helping you do the washing). These sponges also last soooooooo much longer then your normal sponges. They hold up very well and are so easy to get your plates clean in a few scrubs.

  • Brilliant piece of cleaning kit, makes cleaning a lot easier and is definitely worth the spend!

  • Scrub daddy is not only a cute sponge, it gets EVERYTHING. From washing dishes to scrubbing tubs/sinks, it gets the job done! I always have scrub daddy’s in my household.

  • Who doesn’t love scrub daddy/mommy with kids there are a lot of stains that need that extra scrub

  • Must-have for any kitchen of any size. Best on the market, lower-cost competitors don't come close in quality. Worth it

  • I love the Scrub Daddy- I use it with my high-quality cookware and it does not scratch the surface but cleans all cooking residue off! I use it with my cast-iron skillets too when they need a good clean. I give these as part of a gift every time my friends move and they love it!

  • It's expensive for a sponge but totally worth the money. Almost annoying that once you try this, you can't go back. A must have.

  • I have multiple, in multiple colours for so many jobs around the house. I will continue to repurchase in the future

  • Scrub Daddy is the best sponge on the market. It works so well, especially the double sided ones. There is no other sponge I would ever purchase again. 10/10.

  • This sponge works so well and feels weirdly good in my hand. I really like it even though it’s ugly

  • Scrub daddy makes light work of my bathroom. It's really good combined with cleaners. It takes all the hard work out of scrubbing. Toothpaste stains are easy to get rid of and always leaves my sink sparkling. It also seems to dry really quickly and it's playful design means I'm not offended or embarrassed leaving it out on the side. Makes cleaning easy when your tools are already out on the side.

  • The only sponges in our household. Scrub Daddy is really made their place in our house with how durable, long last, and fun the products are to use everyday. It's one of the accessible newer brands for an easier everyday item since they're stocked in many groceries stores around. I haven't tried the whole line but I'm eager to see what else we can integrate into our home.

  • A classic for a reason! Super cute, super effective scrubbing tool. I just wish they produced a more sustainable alternative!

  • I really thought these things were overhyped, but it has become my favorite kitchen sponge. The fact I feel comfortable throwing it into my dishwasher when it gets grimy is the thing I often tell people when they’re thinking about trying it. I even gave these away for Christmas last year in a basket of useful things!

  • best sponges hands down. nothing compares. the original lasts so low and does dirty easily.
