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.

  • This is the most joyful addition to my cleaning routine. Not only is it happy but it gets gunk off like nothing else can. Plus their social media and tiktok is hilarious.

    Feedback

    I’d love mini versions or different shapes scrubbers for different elements of the house and hard to reach areas.

  • Gets the tough things out and great for milt-uses

    create something with a handle for easy gripping?

  • Love them! Best sponges I have tried especially since normal sponges gross me out

    Feedback

    The price is a b it high and they stain easily

  • Obsessed with a cleaning product? Absolutely. Scrub Daddy's line of products has us sold. They are durable, work really well, and I love that they can be tossed in the dishwasher.

    No improvements!

  • Scrub Daddy is a kitchen staple - how could you not smile with Scrub Daddy's little face?!

  • I am a scrub mommy loyal purchaser. Nothing gets my dishes cleaner and I love the fact that one side is a bit tougher for grease and left over bits and the other is softer for strictly sudsy washing.

    Don't LOVE the aesthetics of the packaging - feels a bit 90s, but not a big deal IMO.

  • One of the best sponges ever!! I am continued to be blown away at how durable Scrub Daddy sponges are. They last forever, repel that gross sponge smell incredibly and are fun too.

  • Bought this for fun at Home Depot and didn't think it would be too good, but it's actually my go-to sponge now. It works really well for stuck on stuff and hasn't developed a smell in the several months I've had it. I'm lucky enough to have a dishwasher so I pop it in there to clean it every so often and it's still holding up great (you can also toss it into the laundry to give it a good clean too). It dries really quickly also.

    So far my only problem is that the mouth stretches out and hangs open pretty far after a couple of months, so maybe making that smaller might help.

  • Will never buy another sponge ever again. I love how durable these sponges are and they can even be washed in the dishwasher!

  • It’s the best of both worlds (sponges vs brushes). I hate the textures of regular sponges and brushes sometimes are too abrasive or don’t clean as well. This has been the best thing to happen to my dishes. I really like the design with the openings, it really makes it easy to clean cutlery. The ridges on the outside also make it easy to get into corners or hard to clean areas. The soft-when-warm/hard-when-cold feature makes it easy to to get gunk out. First tried it last year and have not looked back. (Also it doesn’t smell!!!!)

  • I resort to this whenever I have to deal with stubborn gunk. It’s great!

  • These make cleaning the dishes more fun lol I do find they stay more clean than a regular sponge and dry better

  • This sponge works great, and is so cheap too! It's a household staple.

    Feedback

    Offering more neutral colors rather than only bright shades

  • Amazing product! Doesn’t get slimy and gross, can be put in the dishwasher, and it last a very long time.

  • I know people absolutely love their Daddy and Mommy … but … every time I give it another chance it just disintegrates or covered in grease from a pan on scrubbing

    Feedback

    Longevity and ability to shed oil

  • Holds up well, doesnt get dingy. Very affordable.

    Feedback

    Would love if they would incorporate a hard plastic scraper into their products.

  • Works really well and lasts a long time.

    Feedback

    Could they be made in more neutral colors or be made more aesthetically pleasing?

  • Scrub daddy is a staple cleaning product. Not only is it cute the eyes and mouth function to clean straws and utensils, which made cleaning kitchen knives so much easier!
