Proper Use and Cleaning of your Sprout Resources

Our finish is a clear UV cured finish that allows you to see the natural wood grain in the materials we use, but it is not indestructible. Products with laminate will provide a little more durability but will still need to be cared for properly. With considerate care, use, and cleaning, your Sprout resources are meant to be used for many, many years! 

Care and cleaning

Clean your table and other Sprout items with a damp cloth and be sure to wipe it dry. If that doesn't work, a mixture of vinegar and water and scrubbing (and wiping dry) are recommended. HERE is a reel we made with some more insight on cleaning your table!
When an activity is done, clean the table immediately. Do not let materials sit and dry on the table.

We recommend:

  • NO CLOROX WIPES- This eats away the finish
  • NO abrasive cleaners. Think- if you wouldn’t wash your hands with this, don’t use it on your wooden furniture
  • No magic erasers
  • Never steel wool!
  • No abrasive brushes- Use a sponge, cloths, paper towels, etc
  • If you want to use a spray cleaner, be sure it is gentle and is only used after trying warm water or vinegar.
  • We do not recommend letting your child use ballpoint pens with their Sprout furniture- it is difficult to clean off and with that much scrubbing, you might damage the finish.


Wood is a natural material. It can absorb water and color which might warp and discolor your tabletop. Be careful with water activities and play dough. When you will be doing a water-based activity or a craft material with intense colors, use a protective covering to protect the surface.

Keep in mind that improper use, care, and cleaning will void your warranty.
