Scrub Daddy is independently lab proven to resist odors if cleaned and rinsed for up to 2 months. To keep your Scrub Daddy fresh and maximize service life, rinse thoroughly after each use. Scrub Daddy's semi-closed cellular structure prevents most debris from embedding deep in the material.
Food and other particles do not stick to the material although some may become lodged in the pores. You can usually flush them out by simply squeezing and massaging repeatedly under warm running water for 30 seconds. You can wash Scrub Daddy in the laundry or dishwasher. Depending on humidity, it dries in a few hours sitting out on the counter (faster if standing on edge).
