    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

      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.

      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!”

    The hard side gets harder the colder the water, and softer the warmer it is.

      In general I use the rough side to do a first pass, getting rid of most of the grime, especially the stubborn stuff, rinse then use the soft side to do a second pass and rinse once more.
