CHICAGO — Scrub Daddy, the company launched into the spotlight on ABC’s “Shark Tank” for its smily-faced sponge, earlier this month introduced Sponge Daddy, a scrubbing tool that the company says represents a “leap forward” in technology and innovation.

Scrub Daddy’s success proved the public’s pent-up demand for an innovative sponge that’s always happy to get the job done,” said Aaron Krause, CEO of Scrub Daddy. “Sponge Daddy adds new textures and countless uses, all with the same reliable performance and results.”
