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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • The only thing I use after being reluctant to try (shout out to Joyce for getting me on this!). Normal sponges gross me out because they trap bacteria, but stuff doesn't get stuck in these and they dry quickly. I have a color coded system of Scrub Daddy sponges corresponding to different areas of the apartment. Makes cleaning so much easier.

  • Saw this on sharktank and had to try it. It works really well. We have 4 kids and are always cleaning. Is it better than other sponges? Not necessarily but it does the job.

  • I totally get the hype with the Scrub Daddy sponge–it can get the toughest pans clean even with eggs, oil, you name it stuck to the surface. I love to use Scrub Daddy on the kitchen sink to clean it as well, and it also pops right back up to its original shape and condition. For just about $5, this sponge is well worth it for any kitchen or cook.

    Feedback

    I don't think I could improve Scrub Daddy, it's such a great product!

  • It's a thing that scrubs. It's cute. Get softer in hot water... I guess I wonder if it will scratch my non-stick but I use it. I mean, I buy them, sometimes. It's better than metal and detergent pads... I guess? So cheap and useful.

    Feedback

    Um, it's fine. It works. Not sure I can say anything super exciting here.

  • I love using the Scrub Daddy scrubbers; the technology that allows you to soften/harden the sponge based on water temperature is magical in the sense that I no longer have to buy several sponges for slightly different purposes. It’s effective, cute, and holds up well against regular wear.
