Clean and safe gear for your little one. Every time.

At Sprout, we understand that cleanliness is paramount when it comes to baby gear. That’s why we’ve implemented a comprehensive five-step cleaning process to ensure that every item is spotless, sanitized, and ready for it’s next adventure. From thorough inspections to professional laundering and disinfection, we go above and beyond to maintain the highest standards of hygiene.

After each rental, all items undergo a thorough cleaning and sanitization process. We use industry-approved, baby-safe cleaning agents and follow strict protocols to ensure that every item is meticulously cleaned and ready for its next use. You can rest assured that the gear you receive from Sprout is not only high-quality, but also hygienic and safe for your little one.

Vacuum

We leave no crumb unturned! Our thorough vacuuming process covers every nook and cranny, ensuring that your gear is squeaky clean from top to bottom. We vacuum the nooks, crannies, hidden seams, and moving pieces.

Clean

We use a gentle mix of water and mild detergent, or eco-friendly, scent-free soap, to banish dirt and impurities from gear. Our cleaning agents are tough on messes but gentle on delicate fabrics.

Sanitize

After washing, each item is thoroughly disinfected and sanitized to eliminate any remaining bacteria or viruses. We use industry-approved methods and solutions to ensure that our gear is hygienic and safe for your little one.

Dry

After a thorough cleaning, we use microfiber cloths to soak up excess moisture before completely drying our gear with fans and good old sunlight.

Store

Gear is carefully reassembled, ensuring that every piece is in the right place. Our gear is stored in a clean and secure environment to prevent contamination. This ensures that when you receive your rental, it’s in pristine condition and ready for immediate use.
