  • Odor-resistant, hygienic foam
  • Scratch-free, effective scrubbing

Scrub Daddy earns strong reviews for being an effective, long‑lasting scrubber that tackles baked‑on grime without scratching, resists odors, and even shifts texture with water temperature; however, reviewers note durability can vary with heavy use, food can lodge in the pores, and the round shape or thickness can be awkward for some tasks. Overall, Scrub Daddy is considered a good buy for dishes and multi‑surface cleaning, with standouts like Scrub Mommy and Dish Daddy, but a few users prefer softer sponges or wish for greater longevity and eco‑materials.

  • best tool you can use to clean your dishes before bleach 👍 so much better than a regular sponge.

  • So much better than nasty sponges- and they last decently long too

  • The durability is great. I like that it soften when it touches water. It is perfect hand size as well, makes for a great grip.

  • I love Scrub Daddy! They are the best sponges I've ever used. They are great for getting food and grime off of surfaces, they do it effectively and easily. I also love that you can use the eye and mouth holes to easily clean silverware, straws and other utensils. I like that the packaging is eco-friendly and it is easy to store.

  • I love Scrub Daddy! It’s an amazing tool to help clean all my countertops, cabinets, and essentially any surface in my home. Scrub Daddy is an excellent cleaning sponge known for its durability and versatility. The unique smiley face design isn't just adorbs, it’s functional, allowing me to clean utensils effectively. Its made from a special polymer, it changes texture with water temperature, firm in cold water for tough scrubbing and soft in warm water for gentle cleaning. It’s also scratch free on a variety of surfaces, including my non stick pans, glass stovetop, and stainless steel. Plus, it resists odors and rinses clean easily, making it a reliable and hygienic choice for everyday kitchen tasks! What’s not to love?! :)

  • Best sponges EVER! I have so much faith in these magical little yellow sponges of sunshine that I would *almost* risk a felony conviction just to prove the point: they can clean up anything. From crime scenes, a messy kitchen, or more, the lord knows no limitations when these were created.

  • Amazing product! super useful, it’s the best scrub you could ever purchase.

  • I wasn’t a scrubber sponge user, ever so when I took the plunge and bought my first scrub daddy. I’m a serious cleaner and go for simple and easy cleaning the way my mom taught me, let’s just say I didn’t stop scrubbing for 3 hours I was so impressed! This little beast lasts for months, doesn’t scratch anything and meets every challenge I could throw at it. Having seen the original Dragons Den pitch I’m ecstatic to see how successful they’ve become and am a true fan of them.

  • Best scrubber for pots, pans and dishes. Doesn’t get the mildew smell over time cuz it dries so quickly.

  • As a mother of 4 who is constantly cooking for a family of 6 I am a HUGE fan of Scrub Daddy. I have gone through so many different sponges and scrubbers and this one is by far one of my favorites. I have found that it gets off all the food and stuck on gunk better than other sponges I've used. My husband who hates washing dishes likes using them. Whether I am just lightly washing plates before putting them in the dishwasher or scrubbing pots and pans the scrub daddy is what I reach for before any other tool to take care of my dishes. Being able to stick my fingers in the eye holes and fold it over to squish it into glasses makes it so versatile. I also like the fact that cold water stiffens it and warm water softens it. Cleaning it off after taking care of dishes typically isn't a chore unless I am cleaning something that has a lot of cheese on it. Cheese can sometimes get stuck in the grooves, but I have found that putting cold water on it and hardening it up makes it much easier to pull the cheese out :)

  • These scrub daddy’s are amazing and so cute! Actually makes washing dishes a little fun

  • I have the original Scrub Daddy and have been using it since the Scrub Daddy came on the market. It is still strong and intact. I use the sponge on those hard to-get-out stains on pans as well as for cleaning my stovetop.

  • The Scrub Daddy is such an iconic product that appeared on Shark Tank. And it is for a good reason. The sponge gets firm when submerged in cold water, and soft when in hot water, making it such a versatile dish cleaning product. It has 2 eye holes which are useful for cleaning cups, and a mouth to easily clean spoons and utensils.

  • Love the scrub daddy sponge get the work done well! The only think is by the end of the week my scrub daddy was all beat up 🥲not sure if that’s normal?

    My own money
  • Was skeptical about this holding up in the long run, but it has withstood multiple dishwasher adventures. It stays firm when cold for easy scrubbing

    Influencer for Scrub Daddy
  • These scrubs are extremely effective! Our usualy sponges don't get every hard bit cleaned off sometimes. We rely on these for those harder to remove food bits. My only concern is with the product waste and health for the planet. I would prefer a natural product.

  • The products are super fun and easy to use, and clean dishes really well!

    None
  • I didn't think I'd like it but it held its shape and was actually a very good sponge for a long time.
