To this day, you'll spot one of the smiling sponges in each of our kitchens. I always have one sitting on my kitchen sink, and one backup in the cabinet for when it's time for it to be replaced because no other sponge gets the job done as good as a Scrub Daddy can.While you may recognize the brightly colored sponge from its appearance on Shark Tank, if you've never tried one for yourself, I'm here to tell you why you should change that. I promise that after just one use, you'll see why its smiley face shape is such a hit. 1. They're Temperature ControlledYou get the power of a soft and firm sponge in one with the Scrub Daddy. When used with cold water, they'll remain firm for tough scrubbing while warm water will soften the sponge's texture for lighter cleaning jobs. 2. The Mouth Serves a PurposeIn addition to creating part of the smiling sponge's signature look, the smile is also the perfect shape to clean both sides of a spoon in just one swipe. 3. They Resist Unpleasant ScentsScrub Daddy's signature FlexTexture is designed to dry within an hour so it won't mold and won't hold on to unpleasant odors. 4. They're Easy To GripThe round shape of the sponge fits perfectly in the palm of your hand while the eyes of the sponge can also be used for a secure grip while cleaning containers of any shape. 5. It's Always SmilingLast but not least, it's the happiest sponge you'll ever own. The bright color and happy face instantly makes cleaning a little more enjoyable. If this list still hasn't convinced you to add a pack of Scrub Daddy sponges to your cart, over 8,500 reviewers on Amazon have also shared their love for the hardworking sponge. "I have used Scrub Daddy for years and my kitchen is not complete without it!" shared one reviewer. Another reviewer claims, "We won't use another sponge again". These are just two of the thousands of customers who, like me, agree that the Scrub Daddy sponge is worth every penny. Amazon BUY IT: Scrub Daddy 3-Count; $9.99, amazon.com Was this page helpful?
