FAQs
Can I use boiling water to fill the bottle?
No. It is recommended to use hot water that is not boiling to extend the lifespan of the natural rubber and prevent damage.
How do I safely fill the hot water bottle?
Hold the bottle by the neck in an upright position and fill it slowly to two-thirds capacity, then carefully expel any remaining air before tightening the stopper.
Is the cover machine washable?
Yes, the knitted cover is removable and can be washed, though we recommend using a gentle cycle and air drying to maintain its shape.
What safety standard does this bottle meet?
This product conforms to the BS1970:2012 safety standard, ensuring it meets strict requirements for quality and safety.
How long should a hot water bottle last?
While durable, rubber hot water bottles should be inspected frequently and replaced every two to three years to ensure optimal safety and performance.
Troubleshooting
The bottle is leaking around the neck.
Ensure the stopper is screwed on straight and firmly. Check if the rubber washer inside the stopper is present and undamaged.
The rubber feels thin or shows signs of cracking.
Immediately stop using the bottle. Rubber naturally degrades over time, especially with exposure to heat, and should be replaced for safety.
The cover is stained or dusty.
Remove the cover from the bottle and follow standard gentle laundry cycle instructions to clean the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your bottle for first use, ensure the stopper is screwed on firmly but do not overtighten. When filling, never use boiling water directly from a kettle as this can degrade the rubber prematurely; instead, use hot water that has cooled slightly. To care for your product, remove the knitted cover periodically and wash it according to the label instructions. The rubber bottle should be stored empty with the stopper removed in a cool, dark, and dry place when not in use for extended periods. Inspect the rubber surface regularly for any signs of perishing, cracks, or thinning, and replace the unit if any such degradation is found.
