To clean a Scrub Daddy, follow these steps:

1. Rinse off: Start by rinsing the scrubber under warm water to remove any loose dirt or debris.

2. Apply dish soap: Squirt a small amount of mild, non-abrasive dish soap onto the Scrub Daddy.

3. Work up a lather: Use your hands to work the soap into a lather on the scrubber. Make sure to cover all the surfaces, including the eyes and smiley face.

4. Scrub gently: With your fingers or a soft brush, gently scrub the Scrub Daddy to remove any stains or residue. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing tools as they may damage the sponge.

5. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the scrubber under warm water until all the soap and dirt are removed. Squeeze the sponge a few times to ensure thorough rinsing.

6. Air dry: Allow the Scrub Daddy to air dry completely before storing or using it again. Placing it in a well-ventilated area will help speed up the drying process.

It is important to note that Scrub Daddy is a scrubber, not a sponge, and will not absorb very much water, especially when cold. Therefore, it is recommended to use Scrub Mommy or Sponge Daddy if you need a sponge that can absorb water. Additionally, to sanitize your Scrub Daddy, you can dampen it and microwave it for no longer than 60 seconds. It is not recommended to use bleach with Scrub Daddy as it can damage the material and compromise the sponges effectiveness.
