The bottle can be used repeatedly if basic hygiene principles are observed. Before every new filling it is necessary to clean the container thoroughly and then disinfect it, for example using isopropyl alcohol or ethanol (products IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol and Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based). As it is PET material, the use of high temperatures is not recommended; do not boil the container and do not wash it in a dishwasher to avoid deformation.

After emptying, remove the residues of the original product, then rinse the bottle with lukewarm water and a suitable cleaning agent and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. After drying, we recommend disinfecting both the inner and outer surfaces with a suitable alcohol-based preparation (for example products available on Handymade) and letting it evaporate naturally. As it is PET, avoid high temperatures, hot steam, boiling and the dishwasher in order to prevent damage to the packaging.

When choosing packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging material categories. After clicking on the relevant category, the advanced filter is located at the top of the page and allows you to conveniently filter by parameters such as neck type and size, overall packaging size, colour and material. This allows you to quickly find bottles, jars, pots or medicine bottles that correspond to your specific formulation and preferred design.

If you decide not to use the bottle further, we recommend recycling it in accordance with the material designation given in the product parameters on Handymade. First empty the container as thoroughly as possible, if necessary rinse off any product residues, separate the closure and sort the individual parts into the appropriate collection containers according to material. By following local recycling rules, you contribute to more environmentally friendly waste management and effective sorting of plastics.

For products that are sensitive to heat, it is important to store them in stable conditions away from heat sources and direct sunlight. PET material is not intended for exposure to high temperatures, therefore do not leave the bottle in an overheated environment and do not expose it to intensive heating. For sensitive formulations we recommend testing stability under real conditions of use and adapting the storage method so that the contents are as well protected as possible.

The choice of closure depends on the consistency and method of use of your product. For liquid toners and waters, sprays or classic screw caps are practical; for oil-based and concentrated solutions, droppers or applicators with controlled dosing are suitable. In the product details on Handymade you will find recommended compatible closures that have been tested for the given neck type; nevertheless, we always recommend performing your own sealing and dosing test with the specific formulation.
