Facebook introduced me to this Scrub Daddy for your phone — a 3-pack's down to $16
The reusable microfiber pads clean dust and fingerprints with a smile (literally) and stick right on the back of your device.
I'm a professional shopper, which means I love stuff — gimme all the things! And because I love stuff, I'm constantly scouring social media for recommendations of said stuff. The best place to get it? Facebook, if you can believe it. While mindlessly scrolling through my 82 (give or take) shopping and bargain-hunting groups, I came across the most ingenious product for cleaning your very dirty phone: the reusable Scrub Daddy Screen Daddy. Before you ask, yes, this is the same Scrub Daddy behind the smiling Shark Tank sponges that make doing the dishes fun. Oh, and a three-pack of the screen cleaners is on sale for $16 (down from $23) right now.
Just stick one of these itty-bitty microfiber cloths on your phone, and you'll have a screen cleaner wherever you go.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
These nifty phone cleaners are a healthy 30% off, bringing them down to one of their lowest prices all year. At just $16 for a pack of three, you're getting each pad for just over $5. Because the pads are washable and reusable, the cost-per-use value is too good to pass up.
Why do I need this? 🤔
The Screen Daddy is a teeny microfiber cleaning pad adorned with Scrub Daddy's signature smiley face logo. It fits right on the pad of your finger, so all you need to do is swipe it around and the little cloth will clean your screen of fingerprints, dust, lint and oil. Is there a layer of gunky makeup (we've all been there)? It'll clean that too. The coolest part, though, is that it sticks right to the back of your phone thanks to the silicone gel adhesive. This way, you can clean your screen when you're on the go. You'll also be carrying a smiley face around all day, and who doesn't need a little more positivity in their life?
You can totally use these little cleaning pads for more than your phone screen. Swipe your tablet, computer screen, glasses, rearview mirror and any other delicate surface you want to be shiny and new. You clean them like any other microfiber towel — just apply warm and soapy water, then let them air dry. This will also reactivate the adhesive.
What reviewers say 💬
Just like Facebook users, Amazon shoppers are major fans of Scrub Daddy phone cleaners, saying they're easy to use, convenient and effective.
Pros 👍
"I've stuck one of these on the back of my phone, and I love how easily I can use it and re-stick it to my phone," explained a happy shopper. "I haven't had to replace it yet, and I've taken it off and on again multiple times."
"I've been using this thing for a few weeks now and easily became a favorite of mine. I even recommended it to my friends and family," wrote another five-star reviewer. "The ability to just stick to the back of my phone is so useful, then quickly take off to clean my phone’s screen, sunglasses, even camera lens. It's a great thing to have handy and takes minimal space. I've even washed it a few times but it is still going strong."
"I hate smudges on the iPad screen and my phone — and always lose those little cloth towels," started this Amazon customer. "Well, Scrub Daddy did it again and created a product that works great and best of all I can't lose. I thought these were a little pricey, but once I used them, I quickly knew they were worth every penny. Plus, in the long run I save because I'm not buying those silly cloths anymore."
Cons 👎
While this reviewer writes that the cleaner is "good" and "very handy," they also say it's "perfect for the bigger phones, [but] a little large for the smaller ones." (If your phone is on the smaller side, this five-star reviewer says that they just keep theirs in "the side pocket" of their phone case.)
And if you're relatively far down on the cleanliness spectrum, heed this shopper's warning: "I thought it would come more in handy but it felt like a hassle, taking the sticker off, putting it back and just getting dirty all the time."
Tired of misplacing those little microfiber cleaning cloths? It's Screen Daddy to the rescue.
