On Friday, January 27th at 8 PM on ABC, Shark Tank featured Scrub Daddy, The World’s Favorite Sponge ™ brand.
Updates on Scrub Daddy’s new global headquarters and the company’s progress since its original Shark Tank appearance on October 26, 2012, were covered in this episode.
The update will also highlight the recent bilateral collaboration deal between top consumer goods business Scrub Daddy, Inc. And CifTM, a globally recognized brand.
To provide homemakers with the convenience of Scrub Daddy’s cleaning goods and CIf’s outstanding cleaning solutions, Scrub Daddy and Unilever have partnered to create, market, and distribute co-branded products. The collaboration will make the co-branded goods accessible in the US and other international markets.
Aaron Krause, the president and CEO of Scrub Daddy, Inc. said that this international co-branding alliance marks a significant turning point in the development and global recognition of our Scrub Daddy brand.
They are well positioned for exponential growth both in the USA and abroad by collaborating with Unilever, one of the biggest and most prestigious consumer goods businesses in the world, and its globally renowned CIF brand of cleaning products.
Aseem Puri, CEO of Unilever International, expressed excitement about the agreement, which would enable Scrub Daddy and Cif to reach more consumers in the US, Europe, and Asia and create engaging cleaning experiences together.
Scrub Daddy is one of the most prosperous businesses in Shark Tank’s history. Scrub Daddy was founded in 2012 and is currently reinventing the cleaning sector in 27 countries.
The innovative texture-changing FlexTexture material gives Scrub Daddy’s smiling face, complete with cut-out eyes and mouth, its distinctive look.
The smiling-faced sponge company currently sells a whole line of eight-eight cutting-edge cleaning tools, some of which are dual-sided Scrub Mommy and Scrub Daddy, Scour Daddy, and the Soap Daddy soap dispensing system.
Aaron Krause, the founder of scrub Daddy created a series of buffing and polishing pads after harming a vehicle’s surface while cleaning the outside.
Aaron Krause created the original version of Scrub Daddy in 2006 while running the product department and car detailing business. He would spend half of the day behind a machine getting oil dripped all over his face and then have to go back into the office and act as president while working there.
Krause started looking for a more efficient approach to washing his hands to help him transition between the duties. He started the voyage by using Lava Soap, a product that is frequently used by auto workers and when it didn’t work he tried a wide range of other brushes.
Still having trouble getting the desired outcome. Krause contacted a German firm he worked with that helped produce the urethane foam buffing pads his company sold when the intended outcome was still not being obtained.
Thus he ended up building the international brand Scrub Daddy which produced cleaning products.
3M, a multinational conglomerate purchased the business in August 2008. Krause had developed a line of sponges that 3M was not interested in buying. So, they remained in his facility.
Krause cleaned his dishes and outside furniture using the remaining sponges five years later. This was when Krause realized his multi-million dollar notion. Scrub Daddy’s website claims that grassroots marketing was used to launch it in 2012.

On the Shark Tank segment first shown in October 2012, Lori Greiner agreed to buy Krause a 20% stock position in exchange for $200,000. The next day, they sold all 42,000 sponges in less than seven minutes.
Greiner subsequently assisted in getting Scrub Daddy offered in merchants including Bed, Bath & Beyond. Scrub Daddy’s total revenue topped $100 million in January 2017, the most of any Shark Tank product. As of October 2019, the company’s sales increased up to $209 million.
The Scrub Daddy chooses his ideal partner as Greiner, proving her remarkable track record of achievement and superior financial knowledge.
Aaron Krause’s Scrub Daddy has retained the title of Most successful Shark Tank product since this illustrious Shark Tank episode aired. It is currently available everywhere in the world and the US, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Target, Staples, and CVS. It also frequently appears on QVC.
The Scrub Daddy sponge reached more than $110 million in retail sales and 20 million units just four years after the debut of its first episode.
Beyond the actual usefulness of this ingenious sponge, Krause is the best possible ambassador for it. Krause discusses the Scrub Daddy without a hint of cynicism, much like one might after seeing Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel or Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
Scrub Daddy is composed of robust high-tech polymer, which is probably polycaprolactone. The company offers about 20 different products such as scouring pads, sponges with two sides, sink organizers, soap dispensers, and home erasers.
