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.

  • Scrub Daddy's original product is so easy to use and so great for cleaning tough greasy spots on dishes and pans. I use it everyday and it's highly durable. The best part is that the sponge retains its shape even after many uses, but will soften instantly with water. Some other sponges on the market start to deteriorate very quickly after a few uses.

  • Scrub dad makes the cutest sponges ever, my family has fully converted from regular sponges! They also never start to smell i highly recommend.

  • Worth the hype! It works great for all dishes and especially scrubbing stuck on food.

  • Surprised me. Actually such a great sponge. The toughness and durability of this product is what really stands out.

  • Love these because I can just dishwash them and they feel good as new! Also great at getting stubborn stains out

  • Amazing product! Love it for tough stains around kitchen and bathroom.

  • Great cleaning product. A little rough for delicate hands but it gets the job done.

  • I didn’t know I could love a sponge so much, but the double-sided “scrub mommy” is simply the best. The sponge lasts a long time, even if you throw it in the dishwasher a bunch. It does what a sponge should do, and it dries quickly. No more soggy smelly sponges!

  • Ok - packaging and design are excellent and it helps it was on shark tank. BUT, they can get really hard and scratch delicate plates/glasses so use with caution.

  • As much as I despise the name this really is a good scrubber. I even sent one to my mom. The drawback is that it does not soak up water, this is NOT a sponge. It is a scrubber, and the benefit of it is that it is soft enough to use on things. It's between the scrubby side of a sponge and steel wool. It is not strong enough for everything, I still gently use steel wool sometimes.

  • As a Syracuse Alum, I have a special appreciate for scrub daddy. It is the only cleaning product I enjoy and feel I can use to really get the job done

  • It’s nice but if you have a light colored one it gets super gross looking!!! Love that you can stick it in the dishwasher and gentle yet tough enough for burnt food on pans

  • There is a reason every person I know owns a Scrub Daddy. There is no other sponge that comes close - this can scrub cooked on stains and remains generally clean with a rinse.

  • Love scrub daddy! Cute sponges that actually work. They last much longer than the normal sponge and I’ll never go back!

  • Love scrub daddy. Great sponge. Love how versatile it is with the hot water (softens sponge) vs cold water (gardens sponge). Makes it easier to clean dishes effectively and lasts a long time. Can even throw it in the dishwasher.

  • A great product. It definitely will last much longer than most sponges, especially since you can sanitize it in the dishwasher. I love having such a tough sponge on one side and a soft one on the other vs needing two different sponges. I will say I did get it in white and unfortunately it didn’t take long after cleaning a pot for it to no longer be white. I just wish they had a few more muted color options, as I do not like bright colors in the kitchen.
