To select a suitable bottle, vial or other packaging with a spray pump, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant category. In the advanced filter you can clearly sort the packaging according to parameters such as neck, size, colour and material, which makes it easy to match a suitable container with this type of spray pump.

The spray pump can be used repeatedly with appropriate handling, but it is always necessary to observe basic hygiene principles. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the spray pump and the respective bottle in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination. For disinfection, products such as IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured, plant-based are suitable, for example. After disinfection, allow all parts to dry thoroughly before reuse.

The spray pump is ideal for low-viscosity liquids based on water or alcohol, where the goal is to create a fine and even spray. In practice, it is often used for facial and body toners, hydrolats, hair tonics, aromatherapeutic and interior sprays, or gentle cleaning solutions. For thicker emulsions or oil blends, we recommend carrying out a test before filling to check whether the mechanism ensures sufficiently smooth dosing.

If the dip tube is longer than the specific bottle with which you use the spray pump, it can be carefully shortened with sharp, clean scissors so that it reaches just to the bottom of the container. It is recommended to cut it at a slight angle, which facilitates the suction of the liquid. When shortening, make sure that the tube is not deformed, is not pressed against the wall of the bottle and that its end remains smooth, without cracks or notches that could hinder smooth pumping.

For long-term functionality, it is important that residues of products or crystallised substances do not accumulate in the mechanism. When using preparations containing salts, plant extracts or highly perfumed blends, we recommend occasional rinsing with clean water or a suitable diluent that is compatible with the given formulation. For longer storage periods, it is recommended to keep the spray pump fitted on the bottle in an upright position, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to avoid unnecessary stress on the plastic parts and seals.

If you decide not to use the spray pump and any corresponding bottle any longer, we recommend first thoroughly emptying them and removing any remaining contents. Then follow the information on the material composition stated in the product parameters and in the Packaging Quality Certificate – according to this, sort the individual parts of the packaging into the appropriate separate collection (for example, plastic into the container designated for plastics). In the case of combinations of different materials, it is advisable, where possible, to separate the components (for example, remove the cap, pump or spray head from the bottle) and sort them separately. In this way you support more efficient recycling and reduce the amount of waste.
