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 my go-to sponge! I never thought in my life I'd have a go-to sponge... but here I am. Scrub Daddy is really the superior product on the market, and I haven't bought a different brand in years. The scrubber side is so well made and really helps to get your dishes as clean as possible.

  • I love these things soo much!!

    I dont really think they need any improvement

  • It's an awesome product and gets the job done. However, my sponge only lasted me a few weeks, and then it started tearing apart. I would expect this product to last a lot longer.

  • Scrub Daddy can't be beat. One, it's incredibly cute and I need cute things in my kitchen. Two, I don't know why it works so well but it scrubs things so much better then any other rough side of a sponge. It doesn't get all raggedy like other sponges either.

    More cute novelty shapes!

  • Love this sponge, have been a fan of this brand for years. It lasts a long time and the best part is it doesn't leave a smell.

  • Bought this after seeing them on Sharktank! Really great for washing dishes and a great alternative to the smelly, sometimes rusty brillo pads.

    Perhaps offering different sizes.

  • DADDY YES!!!!! To set a quick baseline: I'm an extremely impressionable person. I have signed up for every clipboard person's cause; I'll join any church if you plop me inside. Needless to say, I'm an easy target for cults. I'm on cult watch all the time to make sure I stay away from potential followers or leaders. If they get 30 seconds of my time—I'm all in. Unfortunately I spent 30 seconds staring into the eyes of Scrub Daddy in an aisle at Target. The moment our eyes locked I knew my life would be different. There are the years before Scrub Daddy and there are the years after Scrub Daddy. Everything has changed since I met Scrub Daddy. My relationships have improved, I'm making more money than ever, food tastes richer, water more quenching. Is it a coincidence or is it my Scrub Daddy? Oh and Scrub Daddy is actually great at scrubbing. Like, really good. The best. Better than any other sponge I've tried. Hold Scrub Daddy like a bowling ball (a finger in each eye, thumb in the mouth) or hold Scrub Daddy like an orange, Scrub Daddy will satisfy your every need. He satisfies mine!

    I know I'm not a pan but I tried this on my body and needed it to be like 10% softer. So either I need a pan body or they should make a body Scrub Daddy!

  • Produto de alta qualidade. Super indico pra quem já é mãe ou será assim como eu

  • I tried Scrub Mommy for the first time on my oven, which was covered in old, greasy, burned-on oil. The sponge removed most of the grease effortlessly. What amazed me even more is that at the end, I just rinsed the sponge with water, and it became like new again! Tough on grease, gentle on the sponge—definitely impressed.

  • I have purchased the original, plus the scrub mommy, seasonal scrubs and the rectangular grey pads. All are brilliant and work perfectly. Massive plus that they can be put in the dishwasher to freshen up. I prefer the scrub mommy as it also has the finer sponge

  • Who knew a sponge could be this fun? The Scrub Daddy Original is such a game-changer. Firm in cold water for tough messes, soft in warm for gentle cleaning—seriously smart design. The smiley face isn’t just cute, it’s practical (utensils fit right in the mouth!). It lasts way longer than a regular sponge and doesn’t get gross or smelly. Honestly, it makes scrubbing feel way less of a chore—I kind of love it.

  • My all-time favorite sponge! I can’t go back to the traditional ones because this one really makes a difference. It doesn’t scratch, lasts a long time, and can be used on various surfaces without any worries. Plus, it dries quickly and doesn’t develop that unpleasant smell like the others. It’s practical, hygienic, and even the design makes it easy to reach every corner.

  • Top product! I love it!

  • I absolutely love the Scrub Daddy. Even though it is quite course I find it doesn't scratch whatever I happen to clean. My Scrub Daddy has lasted quite a long time. I use it on the kitchen sink and stove cook top for a wonderful shine. I use the pink Scrub Daddy {Mummy) for all my delicate cleaning. Between the two of them I have no need for any other sponges.

  • I was surprised by how effective this little sponge is. It cleans really well, dries fast and makes dishes way easier. Fun design + actually useful. Took one star off just because it wears a bit with time, but overall I loved it!

  • Scrub Daddy has honestly changed how I clean around the house. The sponge feels sturdy and lasts much longer than the cheap ones I used to buy. I love that it stays firm in cold water for tougher scrubbing, but softens in warm water for gentler cleaning — it’s actually a clever design that works. It doesn’t scratch my pans or glassware, which is a big plus. The smiley face design seemed gimmicky at first, but it’s actually practical — I can clean utensils and glasses really easily with it. The only drawback is that they cost more than regular sponges, and after a while, they can start to hold odors if you don’t sanitize them. Still, they’re fun, effective, and worth keeping stocked at home.

  • The first time I used it, I was skeptical. A smiling, bright yellow face promising to clean everything? Sounded like marketing hype. But the moment I ran it under cold water and felt it firm up, I realized this wasn’t a regular sponge. Cold water meant scrubbing power for stuck-on messes, and warm water made it soft and gentle for delicate surfaces.

  • I share my scrub daddy with 5 housemates and this sponge cleans all the mess we make on our pots and pans! Even food from a week ago was able to get cleaned using the Scrub Daddy! I love all of the different applicators and how versatile they are.

  • We've been using Scrub Daddy for 2-3 years now, much after we learned about it on Shark Tank, and I love it. It's easy to hold and use, and very useful for scrubbing so many different things. I don't have much else to say about it, other than it's great!
