How do I use Bottle Bumpers?Updated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Dry the bottle, stretch Bottle Bumper over the base, work it up until it sits flush, then twist so the colour-coded tag faces forward. Bumpers fit Atomiser Spray Bottle and Foaming Spray Bottle. Hand wash with warm soapy water, no dishwasher. Soft food-grade silicone with an antimicrobial coating and anti-static oil.
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 over the base. Start at the bottom edge of Atomiser Spray Bottle or Foaming Spray Bottle and work the bumper up until it sits flush.
Twist to align. Rotate so the colour-coded tag faces forward. Soft food-grade silicone with anti-static oil adds grip and helps you 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 with a damp cloth to help it slide. Start from one side and slowly work it around for an even fit.
✓ Colour-coded for your cleaning system
Each colour matches a cleaner so there's no second-guessing at the sink. Yellow for kitchen. Blue for bathroom. Green for universal. Purple for stain remover. For the full breakdown, see How do I tell my bottles apart?
How do I clean and care for Bottle Bumpers?
✓ Hand wash only
Wash regularly by hand with warm soapy water. 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.
⚠ What to avoid
No dishwasher. No bleach, harsh solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Keep away from sharp objects that could nick the silicone. Store in a cool, dry place out of prolonged direct sunlight.
✓ Bumper feeling loose?
Make sure the bottle is completely dry first. If the bumper still feels loose, warm it briefly under hot (not boiling) tap water for 10 to 15 seconds. The silicone softens, regains its stretch, and grips tighter once you refit it.
✓ Built to last
Food-grade silicone is resistant to heat, moisture, and UV exposure, and won't crack or become brittle like rubber. With proper care, a Bottle Bumper can last for years.
