How do I use Bottle Bumpers?Updated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Dry the bottle, stretch the Bottle Bumper over the base, then work it up until it sits flush. Bumpers fit the Atomiser Spray Bottle and Foaming Spray Bottle. Hand wash with warm soapy water, never the dishwasher. Soft food-grade silicone with an antimicrobial coating and an anti-static oil finish. Made in China.
How do I fit a Bottle Bumper?
Four steps to fit
Dry the outside of the bottle. A clean, dry surface helps the silicone grip.
Stretch the bumper. Hold the opening with both thumbs and gently widen it.
Slide it over the base. Start at the bottom edge of the Atomiser Spray Bottle or Foaming Spray Bottle and work the bumper up until it sits flush.
Twist to align. Rotate the bumper so the colour faces forward and you can spot the right cleaner at a glance.
✓ Bumper hard to put on?
Stretch the bumper gently before placing it on the bottle. Apply a small amount of soapy water, or rub it with a damp cloth, to help it slide. Start from one side and slowly work it around for an even fit.

How do I clean and care for Bottle Bumpers?
✓ Hand wash only
Wash regularly by hand with warm soapy water and air-dry completely before refitting on the bottle. The antimicrobial coating helps resist bacteria, mould and mildew, so a quick wash keeps the bumper fresh between uses. The anti-static oil finish repels dust and lint, so it needs cleaning less often than you might expect.
⚠ What to avoid
No dishwasher. No bleach, harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, since these degrade the silicone. Keep the bumper away from sharp objects that could nick it, avoid stretching it excessively, and store it in a cool, dry place out of prolonged direct sunlight.
✓ Stains that will not shift
For stubborn marks, scrub gently with a soft brush or soak the bumper in warm water before washing again. Silicone does not stain permanently the way plastic can.
My bumper feels loose. What do I do?
✓ Dry the bottle, then warm the bumper
Make sure the bottle is completely dry first, since moisture stops the silicone gripping. If the bumper still feels loose, warm it briefly under hot, not boiling, tap water to restore its stretch, then refit it. Bumpers hold by stretch alone, with no adhesive, so a dry surface does most of the work. More on fit in Bottle Bumper dimensions and fit.
