Mini Hot Water Bottle | Hand Knitted Striped String Cover

• To remove the cover, empty the hot water bottle, squeezing out all the air and putting the stopper back in place.
• Roll the hot water bottle and squeeze it through the opening at the neck. It is a tight fit and will require a bit of effort to get it out, but cotton string is very hardy and will withstand a lot of stretching.
• To reinsert the hot water bottle do the above in reverse.
• Colours may vary slightly from those shown in the images.
• To retain the stripe colour, hand wash the cover at cooler temperatures.
• If you machine wash the cover be aware that more vigorous cycles may cause the cotton string to bobble or 'pill' and affect the intensity of the colours.
• However you choose to wash your cover, it will need to be dried flat and may need a little bit of a stretch to get it back to its original shape and size.
• The 500ml hot water bottle is made of natural rubber, which stays warmer longer than PVC bottles. It is manufactured by UK based firm Vagabond and each bottle is visually checked by me before being placed in the knitted cover.
• The hot water bottle insert conforms to BS 1970:2012.
• Before first use, fill with cold water to ensure the bottle is in good condition, fills properly and there are no leaks: if a fault is found, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me and I will send you a replacement in accordance with your statutory rights.
• The bottle must only be filled by a competent adult.
• Fill to a maximum of two-thirds with hot, not boiling, water: very hot water is fine for filling your hot water bottle.
• Fill the bottle slowly, taking care not overfill it as this will make it much more likely to burst.
• Ensure the funnel is empty before firmly tightening the stopper.
• Only use the bottle in the cover to prevent burns or skin irritation that can occur from prolonged exposure to direct heat.
• Do not lay or sit on the hot water bottle.
• For children or vulnerable adults, use the bottle to warm their bed, but remove it prior to them getting in the bed.
• Replace the bottle as soon as you notice any signs of damage or wear and tear.
• It is recommended that all bottles should be replaced every two years.
• Please do follow these safety guidelines when using the bottle to avoid accident or injury to yourself or anyone using the bottle.
