Are you using your ScrubDaddy the right way? The kitchen sponges are designed to take on different textures as you use them.
How to Use a ScrubDaddy to Its Full Potential
If your dishes seem to pile up no matter how often you wash them and run your dishwasher, then having the right tools for the job is crucial. Thanks to their unique shapes, most people are familiar with ScrubDaddy sponges, but are you using yours wrong? If you’re not taking advantage of the sponge’s ability to change texture, you’re missing out.
We checked with the manufacturer to see how to optimize your use of these sponges while tackling your kitchen cleaning projects.
How To Use a ScrubDaddy Correctly
According to the ScrubDaddy FAQs, you can change the texture of your kitchen sponge by adjusting the temperature of the water. This versatility saves you space and money; instead of buying soft and hard sponges to tackle the array of messes, you can clean everything with one tool.
So how does ScrubDaddy do it? Their website explains that the sponge’s versatility is due to its material: FlexTexture®, which is “a highly engineered polymer foam.” With this material, you just need to toggle your water temperature to adjust the texture. “FlexTexture® is firm in cold water and soft in warm water.”
Whether your messes call for a stiff sponge to muscle away stains or a softer texture to help get into crevices, one tool can do it all.
Safe Surfaces to Use a ScrubDaddy On
It’s great that this sponge is so versatile when it comes to texture, but what does this mean in your kitchen?
The ScrubDaddy FAQ proudly proclaims that this product is “scratch-free on over a dozen different surfaces, changes texture based on water temperature, resists odors for 8 weeks, is non-toxic, BPA and latex free.”
So, in addition to being free of toxins and far less likely to stink than other kinds of sponges, this sponge is a surface superstar. In practice, the ScrubDaddy claims to be safe on:
- Acrylic
- Aluminum
- Car Exterior paint
- Seasoned Cast Iron
- Ceramic
- Chrome
- Copper
- Crystal
- Enamel
- Fiberglass
- Glass

- Leather
- Limestone
- Marble
- Non-stick Coatings
- Oil Rubbed Bronze
- Brass
- Porcelain
- Soapstone
- Stainless Steel

While you probably want to use separate sponges for your dishes and floors, you can buy a pack of ScrubDaddy sponges and use them to clean almost your entire kitchen. One for your travertine or vinyl floors, one for your dishes including your cast iron and non-stick pans, and perhaps a third for your countertops, whether they’re quartz, soapstone, or granite.
