Scrub Daddy earns glowing reviews for making cleaning faster and more effective—its FlexTexture sponges cut through baked‑on grime without scratching, resist odors, and last longer than typical sponges—while some reviews note durability can wane (shedding, tearing, softening) and the hot/cold firmness can be inconvenient for those who wash in hot water. Reviews also praise the versatile lineup (Scrub Mommy, Dish Daddy, Power Paste, Damp Duster) and the utensil‑friendly smile design, but mention bulkiness, food trapping, and sustainability concerns as recurring drawbacks.

  • I saw this on Shark Tank, and it does work really well. Apparently this is made with foam and not plastic, so it won’t contribute to the micro plastic issue. I haven’t tried the natural coco fiber Eco Daddy yet, but I would like to see if it works as well as the original.

  • I've only bought the classic sponge daddy so far, but I've really enjoyed using it. It dries quickly and doesn't smell, unlike regular sponges. I definitely plan on repurchasing them and am interested in using more of the line!

  • I 100% love this sponge. I used to keep throwing out sponges every month as they used to start smelling. Scrub Daddy has lasted me 3-4 months!

  • I never thought I would become so loyal to a sponge company in my lifetime but here we are. Not to be dramatic, but I cannot imagine my life with my scrub daddy. The dish daddy is the only dish cleaning tool I have now and these things last forever. I use my original scrub daddy sponge to clean the necks of my guitars since it is the only thing that is tough enough to clean them, but gentle enough not to scratch them up. I bought their halloween scrub daddy sponges because they freaking cute and I wanted fresh ones to use for my glass snake tanks and of course, they are the only thing that can REALLY clean them without causing scratches or other damage. I have been using these for at least two years and have never had to replace any of them yet, but I keep buying more because they are perfect for everything you already use a sponge for, and for things you never knew you could use a sponge for.

    If for whatever reason you are not convinced that scrub daddy is the best thing ever but you haven't yet tried it, then I implore you to do so. These weird little sponges are worth more than every cent they cost because they do a better job than everything else and will last you so much longer than whatever other cleaning tools you're currently using.

  • We love these sponges, they last an eternity without a weird smell.

  • Very great at cleaning. This will do just about anything that you need

  • Genuinely a great sponge. Makes doing the dishes a little quicker and more enjoyable! I love that you can put them into your dishwasher to clean them and the new dye free line is stunning.

    Feedback

    It would be great if all scrubdaddy products could be in eco friendly dye friendly packaging, but other than that the brand is a 10/10. Great customer service and great products.

    Sale or special offer
  • I know I’m not the first to say this, but this sponge works better than every other sponge I’ve used. I don’t know how it works, but it can get ANYTHING scrubbed off. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!!

  • use my scrub daddy for weekend deep cleans. granted my place isn't filthy, its a fun sidekick for getting soap scum off my shower etc. i've used one on non-stick pans before and found it worked well and didn't leave any scratches (yet!) it tends to break easily so maybe buy a few, keep one for cold water use and one for hot water use as the material (I've found) tends to weaken due to the temp change

    Feedback

    it broke fairly easily but other than that its definitely better than the standard cloth

  • I have to be honest -- I thought that this product was a bit goofy when I saw it on Shark Tank/in stores. That being said, I had the opportunity to try it out and now I am in love with the Scrub Daddy sponge. Would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a new sponge.

    Feedback

    I have no negative criticisms to offer.

  • Scrub daddy is my favorite company EVER. I’m obsessed with these products and recommend them to all my friends. Super durable and so much better than your average sponge.

  • Love this thing. Never thought I’d be passionate about a sponge but it’s so much more useful than a regular sponge and doesn’t get smelly.

    Gréât for Cleaning water bottles and cups. Love the sponge becomes harder or sorting depending on the water Temp

  • The scrub was really clean well and I like the fact it's environmentally friendly.

    Feedback

    Made something that can also clean bottles.

  • At first it took some getting used to, but the shape was actually so nice!

    Feedback

    Nothing, would highly recommend.

  • These are the ONLY sponges I use since I discovered them. I HATE the smell that my dish sponges start to get over time and these solve that problem. I have been using these for years (after my wife did extensive research on smelly sponges) and have never looked back. We now buy them in bulk.

    Feedback

    Nothing negative to say! Fantastic product, no smell, have recommended to many people.

  • Works great for the first week but after that it's just like any scrub. Love the concept of it but a generic scrub will do the same

  • I really love the Scrub Daddy but having no dishwasher, thus, using it every day, I've noticed they tend to break down more than a standard kitchen brush would. Definitely better than a sponge since they hold no smell (AMAZING). I've just noticed that in about a month little bits of the Scrub Daddy will start breaking off and falling down my drain... so the microplastics aspect probably is not great...

    Feedback

    I like them but hope to see some sort of sustainability initiative from them soon, otherwise will probably have to stop using them.

  • I have been using regular sponges for so long! I finally got myself a Scub Daddy and love it! I can use it for so many different types of dishes and it always works and is cute too!
