They are also very effective to use when performing move out cleanings, to make sure there is no grime left for the new occupants. After all, who wants to move into a partially cleaned home?

As the top provider of move out cleaning services in Loveland CO, we are well versed in the best ways to use Scrub Daddy’s for both regular and heavy duty cleanings. With these tips, you’ll be able to clean your home with a bit more ease and efficiency, whether you are moving out or not!

What are the best uses of Scrub Daddy’s when cleaning your home?

Similar to cleaning with magic erasers, aka melamine sponges, Scrub Daddy’s are extremely useful cleaning tools throughout your whole home. Like using a compressed air duster for the little dusting details, Scrub Daddy’s are a unique sponge that allows you to clean with just water, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals to get the same result. 

Scrub Daddy’s are made of a specialized polymer foam that are non scratch on many surfaces. They can also change texture based on the water temperature, which allows you to use the sponge in a couple different ways. When the sponge is dry or super cold, it maintains a coarse texture for better heavy duty scrubbing. When you use warm or hot water, it is a soft and pliable sponge to scrub with.

While Scrub Daddy is the most ubiquitous brand with this type of sponge material, there are cheaper alternatives on the market that offer similar cleaning magic. 

Keep reading on to learn some of the best uses of these powerful cleaning tools in your home. 

Bathrooms

There are many ways to use these sponges in a bathroom, from the tubs to the toilets.

  • Scrub the bathtub and shower to remove lime and hard water stains, and add in vinegar for extra scrubbing power
  • Use to remove toothpaste residue on sinks 
  • Polish handles and faucets to shine like new
  • Get into the corners of the tub, shower, and toilet

Kitchen

Scrub Daddy and similar sponges are a great addition to your kitchen cleaning toolkit. 

  • Remove burnt on food and residue on stove tops 
  • Scrub the inside of your oven
    • Depending on the state of the oven, some additional heavier duty spray may be needed
  • The interior and exterior of your appliances, such as refrigerator and microwave
  • Sink, handles and faucet
  • Light switches and food splatter above the stove and countertop
  • Washing dishes with ease

When using a Scrub Daddy in the kitchen, you may need to supplement the sponge with a cleaning agent added to water. Try vinegar for extra all natural cleaning power, or your favorite store bought all purpose concentrate or degreaser. 

Sticky Residue

Scrub Daddys can be used to get up sticky residue, whether it is left over from an old sticker or spilled glue. 

Outdoor Grills

These types of sponges work wonders on outdoor grills, from the grates, to the interior and exterior of the grill and cover. Depending on the state of the grill, you may want to use a degreaser to help cut through the burnt food and grease. 

Tiles and Grout

Tiles and grout can be scrubbed with a Scrub Daddy to help get the shine back to the surface, whether it is in the kitchen, bathroom, or on the floor.

Washing Machine

Similar to cleaning the shower and tub, this type of sponge can easily clean up soap residue left inside and around washing machines. To fully clean the area, use an all purpose disinfectant with the Scrub Daddy. 

Hot Tub

The sponge can help to periodically clean the surfaces of hot tubs, as body oils and algae can develop over time.
