This guide brings together all the original care and safety information provided by Katrina Hampton, highlighted in bold, along with additional expert guidance to help boost product longevity and improve user experience.
How to Fill Your Faux Fur Hot Water Bottle Safely
Below is the full manufacturer guidance, exactly as provided by the brand, followed by extended explanations to support safe use.
Katrina Hampton provides detailed safety guidance to help you fill your faux fur hot water bottle correctly and extend its lifespan. Below is the full set of manufacturer instructions, reorganised for clarity while preserving the original wording:
1. Prepare the Bottle and Cover
Our hot water bottles are sold with a fabulous luxury faux fur outer and a British standard natural rubber inner bottle.
When filling your hot water bottle, flip the cover up and over the neck down to the shoulder level of the bottle.
Before adding water, always lift the faux fur cover away from the neck to ensure safe access to the opening.
2. Use the Correct Water Temperature and Amount
Do not use boiling water and fill to a maximum of two-thirds capacity or less. Don’t over fill the bottle as this may cause it to burst.
Avoid boiling water — use hot, but not boiling, to protect the rubber and reduce risk of splitting.
3. Fill the Bottle Slowly and Safely
Hold the bottle by the neck in an upright position and fill slowly to avoid the water splashing and gurgling back onto you.
Pouring slowly also helps reduce air pockets and pressure build-up inside the bottle.
4. Remove Excess Air
Expel air from the bottle until a little water appears at the opening.
This step prevents unnecessary strain on the rubber when the bottle is sealed.
5. Seal the Stopper Correctly
Screw the stopper sufficiently tight to ensure there is no leakage; finger-tight should be adequate.
A secure but not overly tightened stopper prevents leaks without damaging the thread.
6. Replace the Faux Fur Cover
Finally, make sure the funnel is empty and pull the cover back over the neck, and it fits snugly with no gaps.
Once closed, ensure the luxurious faux fur cover sits neatly and securely over the bottle.
Important Safety Warnings to Keep in Mind
The customer-supplied safety warnings are included below exactly as sent:
Do not allow the bare bottle to have prolonged contact with the skin when filled. Under no circumstances should the hot water bottle be used as a cushion and be sat upon.
These points are essential. Hot water bottles should never be used without the cover, and sitting or lying on them can cause severe damage or bursting.
Storing Your Faux Fur Hot Water Bottle
Correct storage extends the lifespan of both the rubber bottle and the faux fur cover. Here is the original guidance:
When not in use, drain completely and keep, with the stopper removed, in a cool, dry, dark place. Prevent exposure to sunlight.
Exposure to heat or sunlight accelerates the ageing of natural rubber, so storage conditions are crucial.
How to Care for Your Luxury Faux Fur Cover
The customer-provided washing instructions are fully included below:
To prolong the life of your Hot water bottle cover, wash only on a cold wash, brush through when wet, you may want to use a little conditioner to ease the passage of the brush through the wet faux fur.
Additional guidance: Let the cover air-dry naturally and avoid tumble drying, which can damage fibres.
