FAQs

How long should I microwave the wheat bag?

Start with 1-2 minutes on high power. Add 30-second increments if needed, checking the temperature each time to avoid overheating.

Can I wash the wheat bag?

No, do not immerse the wheat bag in water. Spot clean only with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

How do I use it for cold therapy?

Place the wheat bag in a clean plastic bag and freeze it for at least 2-3 hours before use.

How long does the heat last?

The heat typically lasts for 20-30 minutes, depending on the initial heating time and ambient temperature.

Will the lavender scent fade?

Yes, the natural lavender scent will gradually fade over time with repeated use and heating.

What is the size of the wheat bag?

The bag measures approximately 47cm x 14cm.

Is this product suitable for children?

Always test the temperature carefully before applying to children. Adult supervision is recommended.

Where is the wheat bag made?

Troubleshooting

Wheat bag does not heat evenly

Ensure the wheat bag can tumble freely in the microwave. Reheat in shorter increments, turning the bag halfway through.

Wheat bag feels too hot or too cold

Adjust microwaving time in 15-30 second increments or freezing time. Always test temperature with your hand before applying to skin.

Fabric feels damp after microwaving

This is normal due to the moisture in the wheat. Ensure it cools completely before storing. If it feels excessively wet, it may indicate a problem with the internal material or excessive heating; allow to air dry thoroughly.

Lavender scent is too strong or too weak

For a weaker scent, air the bag out for a day or two. For a stronger scent, ensure the bag is fully dry and heated correctly; scent strength is natural and diminishes over time.
