The Nugget is not waterproof, and there are a few reasons behind this design choice. First and foremost, we wanted to ensure that we create a product that is safe and free from potentially harmful chemicals. Many waterproofing sprays contain chemicals that some families prefer to keep out of their homes, especially when it comes to children’s products.
Instead of relying on waterproofing, we have made the Nugget fabric thicker than what most customers expect. This thicker fabric is able to hold small messes pretty well until you’re able to clean them up. It provides a certain level of protection against spills and accidents, but it is important to note that it is not completely waterproof.
In my personal experience, I have found the Nugget’s fabric to be quite durable and capable of withstanding everyday spills and messes. Whether it’s a spilled drink or a snack mishap, the fabric has held up well and prevented the mess from seeping through immediately. However, it is important to clean up any spills or messes promptly to avoid any potential staining or long-term damage to the fabric.
While the Nugget may not be waterproof, it is important to remember that it is designed primarily for indoor use and is intended to be a versatile play and lounging surface for children. It is not meant to be used outdoors or in situations where it may be exposed to excessive moisture or water.
To summarize, the Nugget is not waterproof to avoid the use of potentially harmful chemicals in its production. The fabric is thicker than expected and provides some level of protection against spills and messes, but it is not completely waterproof. It is important to clean up any spills promptly to maintain the fabric’s durability and prevent staining.
