What About Scrub Mommy Sponges?
While the Scrub Daddy features the same texture on both sides, the Scrub Mommy is dual-sided. One side is FlexTexture, while the other is a softer material called ResoFoam. This spongy side is highly absorbent, making it useful for everyday cleaning tasks or washing delicate dinnerware. You can sanitize both the Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy on the top rack of a dishwasher.
