Well. Its been three years now. Time to test out the newish cellulose sponges/ cloths. They will definitely save every home a LOT of money because they'll no longer need any paper towels, etc.
(I purchased WETTEX, big brand from Sweden & on Amazon. I purchased the variety 10- pack.
Yellow, blue, pink, & green.
I'm very pleased. NEVER use bleach or harmful chemicals. Always rinse in COLD water.)
Looking forward to it.
😃 👍
I think coming up with a singular sponge is a mistake…the scrub daddy is just better than all at doing dishes in general…the worst pans do require more grit….so you should have something like that in your arsenal. But the scrub daddy doesn't stink within 5 days like most kitchen sponges tend to do. So, if you can only buy one, their recommendation is probably correct…but everyone should have a scrub daddy available.
in a weird way, this video was exactly what i needed
I'm digging my scrub daddy…not gonna lie.
How much

What do you mean "the size and the shape of the sponges matter"… i thought it's about the technique
rip scrub daddy
The gal ALWAYS gives outstanding, informative reviews. She is awesome!
We use the Scrub Daddy sponge in our kitchen and I really like it. It's very easy to rinse out after you use it and it never smells bad. Plus it is a very effective scrubber.
Wow! Did I really just watch a 5 minute video about sponges lol 🤦♀️
Scrub Daddy GANG!
I'd your watching this
A) you reached adult life
B) Only son of a gun who can clean dishes in the house right
I'm 32 and have used many different dish sponges. I usually get generic scotch brite scrubber multipurpose and heavy duty sponges until… I found and fell in love with scrub daddy. However, the price is a bit excessive for a freakin sponge (apx $4 EACH). WE'RE IN A RECESSION dear scrub parents. I'll have to give those ridged ones a shot again but from what I recall they're very difficult to break
In many countries, O-Cedar is known as Vileda
Not them not using Scrub Daddy as intended.
This woman is my frickin' Hero.
Scrub daddy the 𝔹𝔼𝕊𝕋d(￣◇￣)b
Scrubbing daddy😝 I found some of sylicone at Home goods. They are the best. They don't ever hold smell, they last pretty long. Now, I cant find them anymore😢 (Ps. They were nothing like the silicone she showed).
Hello, Love your channel. Do you have any update on this
Je mange des éponge…
Scrub daddy is the best imo have had one last months and never stinks like the usual sponges 🙂
the scrub daddy is the best you just dont know how to use it.
I'm an adult now. I know because I was excited when she brought out all the test subjects, mostly for the cheese grater and this cutting board omggggg thank you for this!!!
Lysol was my favorite. It never stinks ever. It's named QUICKIE now
I have the winner sponge at home and I couldnt buy any other sponge tbh. It works sooo well and the food residue slides right off just by rinsing it. Stays clean, doesn't smell bad and has anti-bacterial properties. I highly recommend buying it!!
You're testing the wrong scrub daddy
You're testing the wrong
I want a redo with the Scrub Mommy!
I keep watching Scrub Daddy's sponges
scrub daddy is the best for us so far.
this is bad im watching this
What about Scotch-brite's scrub dots? Are the sponges with dots worth it or just a gimmick?
✌️&❤
I live my scrub daddy!
