Scrub Daddy Scrub Mommy Special Edition Summer - Scratch-Free Multipurpose Dish Sponge - BPA Free & Made with Polymer Foam - Stain & Odor Resistan...

They lived up to the hype. I've been using one in conjunction with a "normal" sponge to wash dishes, and as far as the scrubbing task goes, it's the best one I've ever used in my life. Greasy, or otherwise difficult food residues come off easy, the shape is great for washing glasses by holding it from the eyes, it doesn't stain easily unlike conventional sponges, it's gentle enough on pans where you need to put some muscle into to avoid scratching, and aggressive enough against food residues that the only thing above it is really a steel/brass sponge which would of course be a no no on non-stick cookware. And yes, the texture change with temperature is very much a thing. While I mostly use it with cold water, if I need to sanitize it and remove any stuck residue, i just boil some water, dunk it in, and it becomes soft and easy to squeeze If used for what it was designed to do, it will outlast several conventional sponges and totally be worth the higher price tag. If I had gone in blindly, I would've complained about the mouth making the sponge a bit flimsy, but I like using it to wash cutlery by squeezing the pieces inside it, and it does an excellent job. If I wanted simple big scrubber, I could've gone for the Big Daddy and call it a day. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality, and I very much hope you give the guy making the shorts in the Scrub Daddy youtube channel a promotion

I have been using these scrub daddys for years. They seem course at first but when wet they soften a bit and do a great job scrubbing granite tops, my glass stove top as well as pots, pans, dishes. They do not scratch non stick pans, and do a great job on all other surfaces. They rinse well (dont hold odors) and are even cute to look at. They last for months, and I then transition them over to the garage for car cleaning (great for squished bugs on the windshield). I got these for my sons for Fathers Day. Big hit.
