Reviews mention

  • Scratch-free scrubbing performance
  • Odor-resistant, hygienic sponge

  • Inconsistent long-term durability
  • Bulky round shape ergonomics
  • Food trapping in open pores
  • Potential microplastic shedding

Scrub Daddy earns overwhelmingly positive reviews for delivering effective, long‑lasting scrubbers that tackle baked‑on grime without scratching, stay odor‑resistant, and can be sanitized, but some reviews flag durability inconsistencies and bulkiness, with food trapping and microplastic shedding concerns. Reviews of Scrub Daddy also praise the FlexTexture hot/cold firmness shift and clever smile design for utensils, while noting that the stiff texture can feel rough, the round shape isn’t ideal for tight corners, and performance drops for users who prefer scrubbing with hot water only.

  • 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...

    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.

    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.

  • so goofy! the scrub daddy sponge works great, and i actually feel motivated to clean my dishes because it’s such a silly sponge LMAO

  • THIS IS MY DADDY (but not really) HE SCRUBS ME RIGHT (my dishes) WE ARE MARRIED (jk he has a scrub mommy as a wife)

  • 10/10 sponges. They work great and last me longer than a normal sponge. I always repurchase!

  • i love love love all my scrub daddy products. i have never even thought of another sponge after changing. the material, the little holes, the fact that it’s odorless. just an overall amazing product.

  • I thought Scrub Daddy was a gimmick but it's the real deal. In particular, I love using the Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy, and their Power Paste. The Power Paste is my go-to cleaning product, especially with tough, caked-on dirt. The only product I don't like is their actual sponges. I believe the Scrub Daddy and Mommy have the best usability for cleaning everything, from dishes to your bathroom.

  • This should be a staple in every household!!! So effective at cleaning tough stains/grease. Love to see that they now have a "Scrub Mommy"

  • I see these everywhere. Ive bought them before to clean my college dorm and they're great.
