Yes, the packaging can be reused if hygienic principles are followed. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting both the bottle and the sprayer in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination of the new batch of product. To disinfect the surface and the interior of the packaging, you can use isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. After treatment, allow all parts to evaporate completely and dry, and only then refill the bottle.

The bottle with sprayer is ideal for liquid preparations that are applied in the form of a fine mist or spray. It performs well with facial and body toners, refreshing sprays, light hair tonics, aromatherapeutic sprays for rooms or textiles and homemade perfumed sprays. Thanks to the dark glass, it is also suitable for blends containing essential oils that are sensitive to light, while we always recommend testing the compatibility of the specific formulation with the packaging and the spraying mechanism.

Before reuse, it is advisable to disassemble the bottle into its individual parts – separate the glass body from the sprayer and any cap. You can rinse the glass part with a suitable cleaning agent, rinse thoroughly with water and then disinfect it using alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. Clean the sprayer more gently: flush it with water or a suitable solution and press it several times so that the internal capillary is rinsed through. After cleaning, allow all parts to dry completely at room temperature and only then reassemble and refill them.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend sending it for recycling according to the materials listed in the product parameters. The glass body of the bottle usually belongs in the glass container according to local sorting rules. The plastic part of the sprayer and any other components may be made of different materials, so it is advisable to separate them from the glass and, according to the sorting options in your municipality, place them in the appropriate waste fractions. Before recycling, rinse the packaging so that no product residues remain in it, and follow the recommendations given in the parameter table of the specific packaging on the Handymade.sk website.

To make selection easier, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on the chosen packaging category. Using the filter, you can sort packaging according to neck type, size, colour and material, so you can quickly find the combination of bottle, medicine bottle, jar or dispenser that best matches your formulation and your idea of the final product. The filters also help you check compatibility of packaging and accessories within a single product range.
