Who knew the bestselling Scrub Daddy sponges had Halloween versions?

On the list of shopping items that are fun to purchase, sponges sit at the very bottom. You make your way to the right aisle and likely grab the same familiar brand you bought the last time. But for shoppers in the know, the best sponges for the kitchen are the Scrub Daddy sponges. And this festive fall variety—available at Walmart—is going to change your mind about the joy of buying sponges.

Change your cleaning game with this handy helper. Soft in warm water, firm in cool, the Scrub Daddy will stand up to nearly any dish grime you throw at it.

This three-pack has the same great sponges you know and love, just in festive Halloween shapes—Frankenstein, a ghost, and a Jack O'lantern. And while the spooky designs are cute, they also have a utilitarian purpose. As with the original, the eye holes offer a comfortable grip for your hand and the little mouths clean both sides of your utensils in one fell swoop. The tri-colored multi-pack of sponges could also help you keep track of their designated purpose—like green in the bathroom and orange in the kitchen, for example. But beware: These cuties are so popular, they are selling out as we head further into spooky season. So if the festive variety isn't available for you, consider giving the original a try and keeping an eye out for more seasonal styles to come.

If this is your first go-round with Scrub Daddy, let us introduce you to their magic: the foam is firm in cold water for more stubborn messes and gets soft in warm water for gentler washes. The material is also resistant to stains and odors for up to eight weeks and their fast dry time prevents mold from growing. While tough on caked-on pans and sink grime, these sponges are safe to use on over 25 different surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, cast iron, non-stick coatings, copper, chrome and leather.

Still need convincing? Just listen to the five-star reviewers: "The scrub daddy has replaced regular sponges for me. It lasts much longer, but the biggest difference is the smell and cleanliness. I can easily clean with water, and throw it in the dishwasher when I run it. Regular sponges always smell so fast, I can't stand it and would never go back. I've given one to many family members! They also work much better than regular sponges. Definitely worth a try!"

"We use these nearly every day. They are perfect for washing the dishes. Enough muscle to scrub tough stuck/baked on food but gentle enough you can scrub your nonstick pots and pans without worrying if the sponge will damage the nonstick coating. We use these to wash everything, pots, pans, plates, bowels, cups, glasses, mugs.... even the flatware! Will never use a different brand as long as these are available. The smiley face design is handy as you can put your fingers in the holes to maintain your grip on it. Super handy to have in the kitchen!," said another enthusiastic user.

The Halloween shapes were too good to pass up for another happy customer: "Love the scrub daddy products! They last a long time and are easy to clean, you can even throw them in the dishwasher! I saw these Halloween ones and said, more like hallowCLEAN!"
