Our take
Scrub Daddy went from a TV investor pitch to one of the best-selling sponges around, and it went viral on TikTok for its smiley face and for changing texture with water temperature.
In cold water it firms up for scrubbing stuck-on food; in warm water it softens. According to the brand, it's scratch-free, resists odors better than regular sponges and lasts longer.
It costs more than a basic sponge, but it also lasts much longer. The face's 'eyes' let you clean utensils in one pass.
Pros
- Changes texture with water temperature
- Lasts longer than a regular sponge
- Scratch-free per the brand
- Fun and practical
Cons
- Pricier than a basic sponge
- Small for large surfaces
