    Those are the most idiotic gimmick ever

    “It gets softer in hot water and harder in cold water”

    Bitch that’s the complete opposite of what I want from a sponge

      The effectiveness of the scrapey bit doesn’t change in my experience, it’s just as shitty when hard as it is soft. I’m sure there’s a low hanging pun in there somewhere, but I hate these sponges so much I don’t care to find it. Plus the sponge part is trash.

        I once mentioned this utter corporate gash on Reddit and immediately got a hundred replies from one-week-old accounts saying “Oh my gaaad I love my Sponge Daddy ©®™ they’re the greadest!”

      I’ve never used a scrub daddy so maybe I’m missing something. But what issues are people having with their regular cheap ass sponges that you need a more expensive one? I always just buy the cheapest sponges on the shelf and they work perfectly fine.

      The changing hardness levels depending on the water temp sounds odd to me and I’m not really understanding the purpose.

      Edit: For dishes I actually prefer scrub brushes instead of sponges anyway. Sponges give me the heebie jeebies with holding bacteria because of the retained moisture. I primarily use sponges for cleaning sinks, bathtubs, etc.

        Agreed, I use a brush to get whatever doesn’t get off by soaking and spraying, then a soapy dish towel for the cleaning. Dish towel gets washed by hand after doing dishes and hang dries, or in the washer with other towels if I remember to grab it.

        In our house sponges are only used for cleaning things we don’t eat off of, and those scrub daddy sponges are the worst I’ve ever used at sponging with the worst scrubber for scrubbing.
