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.

  • I love this sponge for my kitchen sink. It is very durable and doesn’t fall apart easily. I do wish it came with a holder though.

  • One of my favorite cleaning products! The sponges are amazing (you can send back your old one for credits) the cleaning paste is also top tier. Love the company and what they stand for

  • I use this for my deep cleaning days. It makes scrubbing showers and sinks so easy. I would love to continue using these to make my home spotless.

  • The only sponge I use now. I have been using these for many years. They are cheap, effective, and I love the design that is functional and cute. It makes me want to do dishes.

    Cute, cheap and effective.

  • This cute little scrubber helps me the slay all the dirt and grime on my dishes. I love that is stiff when dry and soft and spongy when wet- we love a versatile king!

    I wish it came in colors that did not show stains as well

  • I first saw this product in shark tank and new it was gonna be a good one. This the best scrubby sponge on the market, way better than harsher materials.

  • Absolutely love the scrub daddy brand and have one in every room in the house for cleaning. Would definitely recommend their products. I love how well they get all the hard and soft yuck off of pretty much anything.

    The sponge daddy doesn’t last as long as the original, so I prefer the original if I had to choose.

  • Great sponge! Can be a bit rough on delicate pots/pans, especially if you don't soften it in hot water, but otherwise lasts forever and works really well.

  • THE only sponge that I use for my dishes! I use both the scrub mommy and scrub daddy and find that they are gentle enough to not scratch anything, but strong enough to scrub off any leftover food particles and burnt pieces. If I ever need anything stronger, I'll use a stainless steel sponge. I also like how these are dishwasher safe, so I get more use out of them.

  • If we could buy them by the dozen we would. This is 10x more reliable than a classic scrubbing pad or sponge. It lasts longer, maintains its shape, and has surface area to scrub tough pots and pans with ease.

  • Purchased a few times after Sharktank

    It’s a really nice product. I won’t say it’s entirely necessary because people have been using sponges for ages and have done just fine with that. I will say that I felt like the product was more sanitary because of the way that it’s put together which I appreciate. I haven’t tried any of the varietals, but have heard good things and will consider purchasing in the future.

  • Absolutely love my scrub daddy! I find it lasts very long compared to a traditional sponge and does a great job cleaning dishes.

  • I love Scrub Daddy! The product holds no smell, and I love how the material can become softer or more rigid with the temperature of the water. The product is super durable, so it lasts a very long time and to be honest, these are the only sponges I buy now. They're a bit pricey for a sponge, but with the money I save in not having to throw away sponges because it falls apart or is too smelly; it makes its own money back. I also love the scrubbing paste and has helped me get rid of the toughest stains on my stovetop and oven.

  • 8/10 recommend takes all the stuff stains out ! Easy too , no need to scrub for hours!

    I don’t like the smiley face too much, I would rather it just be a circle , easier to hold on to! But love the product itself

  • Bought a Scrub Daddy on a whim for my kitchen when my kitchen sponge needed to be replaced. Loved it so much I purchased another for each of my bathrooms to do a quick scrub of the sinks. I like that its gentle enough to use on my glass flattop stove but sturdy and tough enough to scrub even the nastiest pots and pans.

    I would love to see more colors, not necessary but would add to the fun....I mean, the sponge is in the shape of a smiley face, you wouldn't think it could get more playful then that, right? LOL
