Scrub Daddy

It was so funny.

The Scrub Daddy guy says the new lemon scent is "guaranteed to last...well...not REALLY guaranteed to last about 2 weeks."

He almost got himself into trouble. It was a nice walk back.

I love Live TV.

I would not scrub the peel off potatoes with a scented sponge. Gross! That's like scrubbing that scent into the vegetable. What are they thinking? Lemony potatoes anyone?

I was thinking the same thing.

On the other hand...peeling potatoes with a peeler is NOT a difficult thing in the first place...the idea that this sponge can do it easier is SO gimmickie.

They try SO hard to sell stuff...instead of letting the product just sell itself.

I love Scrub Daddy and I don't want a scent as long as it keeps not smelling soured like other sponges get! Who even wants any smell?? I never thought about using one to scrub veggies but I certainly will try a new one on some carrots.

I was wondering what their next "hook" was going to be since HSN sells the hog wash ones, pink pigs. My last set of scrub daddy's seem to wear down faster than the set I got when they first came out. So now scrub daddy offers more and scented. Wondering if the scent added has chemicals in the formula.

I love my Scrub Daddy, it's the best thing I've found for cleaning my cast iron pan. However, it's not all that it's advertised to be. It doesn't last very long. I used one to clean my shower walls. It worked great, but it was totally spent by the time I was done. Still, I like it a lot.

I purchase the O-CEL-O two sided sponges that don't have the grooves that collect food particles (even egg and cheese!)and that are advertised to ""rinse clean."" My sponge never smells. I rinse it well after each use and let it air dry. I have also heard of sterilizing a sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds to eliminate the smelly sponge issue or putting it on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

I like my Scrub Daddy too! I love how it cleans my muffin tins out. However, I keep mine on my faucet (resting on his "mouth") and it is in direct sunlight for most of the day.... I have noticed that it is "thinning out" and discoloring where the sun hits it .....

I purchased Scrub Daddy right after seeing them on ST. I am waiting on the Hog Wash Scrubbers now. Hoping that I like them at least as much as SD.

I do think the idea of using the scent free scrub daddy to let small children 'pare' the potatoes and carrots, without a sharp blade, is a great idea. Let them help, and let them get used to handling the vegetables.

Always wanted to try these, but not interested in the scented ones. I don't expect them to last forever, but always wondered if they hold up for more than a couple of uses.

I bought the Scrub Daddy sponges from Amazon. And while they are just fine, I'm not in love with them (in love with a sponge would be really interesting). And I would not scrub veggies with a scented sponge, either!

I bought one Scrub Daddy at BB & B with a coupon. Haven't tried it yet. Didn't want to get stuck with a set if I didn't like it.

It is a good product though. It's funny. My son-in-law was visiting from Florida over Christmas. Everything in his life is business. He's owns several companies and he always seems so pensive.

However, he walked in the kitchen, picked up the Scrub Daddy and got the biggest grin on his face!

He said, "Annabelle! Come here a minute!" I came running in (thinking there was a problem). He said, "Scrub Daddy was on Shark Tank. I saw the guy on there and QVC bought it".

I thought, "Wow! Even he, who never watches TV knew what the Scrub Daddy was".

A side note here: I must add that in my daughter's family (that also includes 3 little girls), he does the cooking, shopping and some of the cleaning) so he definitely knows what the Scrub Daddy is all about!

I love things that do what they promise. It does work great! I love it. The ones at his house were sent there by me. He never sees the huge boxes Grandma sends.

Someone gave me one to try and I love it. I used it in my bathtub as it has a finish in the middle to keep you from slipping and I thought I was stuck with the way it has aged. I've tried straight bleach and every other type of sponge and cleaner on it and it wouldn't budge.

The SD took that layer off like it was nothing.

I am sold.

I haven't been to the base(exchange) in years. In early 2000's they sold Scrub Daddy's(not the same name) with no face in a package of 2 for around $1.00. I plan on going to the base soon and I'll see if they still have them.

I've always wanted to try it, but I never think of going to BBB. I'll have to put it on my errand list.

Wal-Mart sells them. I always stock up.

I think SD is OK. It isn't as great as I thought it would be. For $4, I will be looking for something else that is comparable.

I love Scrub Daddys! They last a long time, no smell and no scratching! I can use it on my stainless steel stove without scratching it; I tend to burn gook on my stove often.

As far as scented one, not interested because I don't think their is any reason for it. I don't peel veggies with it per say, but it is great to get really cold (therefore will be stiff) and scrub potatoes for baked potatoes or skin on fries/homefries!!
