Rental Details
​
Pick up and drop off is done from my house in Fairfax, CA (if you live in San Francisco and are interested in renting a tub from me, please note this in the form below and we can discuss alternatives).
​
You must return the tub with in one week of the birth birth. All sanitation is done by me. A disposable liner is included with each tub and should be disposed of after.
​
All components for set up of the tubs are included in the kits, however each client is responsible for purchasing their own (clean) garden hose for filling and emptying.
