The dispenser is optimized mainly for liquid and semi-liquid formulations such as emulsions, milks, gels or liquid soaps. With very thick creams, dispensing may be limited, therefore we recommend always testing the behaviour of the specific formulation in combination with this type of pump on a smaller sample of the product before final use.

The tube can be adapted to the height of the specific bottle by simply shortening it with scissors or a sharp knife. It is recommended to cut it slightly obliquely so that it can better draw the contents from the bottom part of the container. Before final shortening, it is advisable to try the length “dry” first so that, after fitting, the tube reaches as close as possible to the bottom of the bottle without significantly bending.

The dispenser can be reused with the same type of formulation if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the dispenser to minimize the risk of microbial contamination. For disinfection, you can use, for example, the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured vegetal. After applying the disinfectant solution, let all parts dry thoroughly and only then use the dispenser again.

For routine cleaning, you can rinse the dispenser with warm (not boiling) water with a small amount of mild detergent and then pump clean water through the pump several times. For thorough cleaning and before reuse, we recommend that after mechanical washing you apply a disinfectant solution, for example based on isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and after its action let all parts dry completely in a clean and dust-protected place.

If you decide not to use the dispenser further, we recommend first removing product residues, or rinsing it to minimize contamination of sorted waste. The subsequent method of recycling depends on the material composition indicated in the parameter table for the specific product on the Handymade website. According to the indicated material, you will assign the dispenser to the relevant stream of sorted waste (for example plastic collection). In the case of combined materials, it is advisable to follow local waste sorting rules and the recommendations in the product parameters.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter, which appears at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the extended filter, it is possible to combine several criteria, such as neck type, size, colour or material, and thus easily narrow down the offer to the packaging most suitable for your specific product and dispensing method.
