Saying that I discovered my favorite new product on TV causes a lot of eye rolls, but I have no shame. I watch ABC’s Shark Tank<\/em> every week and carefully critique every pitch like I am the next Queen of QVC (Lori Greiner, for those uninformed). So you may be surprised that after eight seasons and hundreds of inventions, only one was life-changing enough to talk about. And it’s a sponge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scrubbing sponge is made of “a highly engineered cellulose named ResoFoam,” according to Scrub Daddy’s official FAQ<\/a>. Its scrubbers also have a “semi-closed cellular structure” to keep junk from getting stuck inside it after you clean a pan. Unlike a regular sponge that just can be wet or dry, the Scrub Daddy changes texture<\/strong> based on the temperature of water you use. It becomes more pliable under warm water and stays more rigid under cold water, so you can use it to gently wipe ice cream out of a bowl just as easily as scrubbing dirt off of a floor. Creator Aaron Krause<\/strong> brought it to the Shark Tank<\/em> in season four back in 2012, snagged Greiner as an investor, and now it’s the No. 1 performing product from the show<\/strong> to date with more than $100 million in sales. Though it seems kitschy as a big smiley face with spiky, Guy Fieri-like hair, each part of the Scrub Daddy is functional. The “hair” has extra scrubbing power, the mouth cleans small, curved utensils easily, and the eyes can help you hold it while you clean. That’s right, IN ITS EYES. If you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scrub Daddy<\/a> was able to glide right through stuck-on red sauce in my Le Creuset Dutch oven without soaking first, effortlessly removed cheesy remnants from a spilled-over grilled cheese in a skillet, and got into all the corners of another Shark Tank<\/em> product, Baker’s Edge<\/a> (an all-edge brownie pan for those corner-piece lovers out there). Senior web editor Alex Beggs<\/strong> used a Scrub Mommy (more on that in a minute) to clean her entire kitchen floor<\/em>. In her words, “We\u2019ve lived here for three-plus years and the floors in the kitchen had an outline of mysterious stuff. Scrub Mommy got it right up… before she passed away.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our month-long research, we’ve discovered that the Scrub Mommy<\/a>\u2014a double-sided, dual-textured version with a normal sponge side and a scrubber on the other\u2014is far superior to the one-material Daddy. Both Alex and I had harrowing experiences when our Scrub Daddies finished their last round of dishes. Mine was after making lemony chicken orzo soup<\/a> and accidentally letting some pasta fall to the bottom and burn onto my Dutch oven. When Scrub Daddy emerged from his bath, his face was distorted, little pieces were falling off on half, and he looked like Two-Face from Batman. He was laid to rest on December 20, 2016 at 8:42 p.m., about two and a half weeks after he came into my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
