The spray pump can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the mechanism and the respective bottle with water, remove the residues of the original product and then disinfect the packaging. For disinfection we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. After disinfection, allow all parts to dry completely at room temperature and only then refill them with the product.

The spray pump is ideal for liquid products with low viscosity that you want to apply in the form of a fine mist. In practice it is used for face and body sprays, hydrolats, hair tonics, air and textile fresheners, mild cleaning solutions or hygiene sprays. For formulations with a higher share of oils or significantly more viscous liquids we always recommend first testing the flowability and consistency of spraying on a small sample.

The compatibility of the spray pump with a specific bottle depends on the type and dimension of the neck. In the product parameters you will find the neck designation, according to which it is possible to select corresponding packaging. On Handymade.sk, suitable combinations of closures and dosing components that have been tested as functional are displayed directly for several bottles. If you are not sure, we recommend first ordering a smaller quantity and checking the sealing, the length of the dip tube and the behaviour of the mechanism in contact with your formulation.

To select a suitable bottle or vial we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the advanced filter you can clearly sort the packaging by neck type, size, colour and material, which significantly speeds up the selection of the optimal bottle–spray pump combination for your product. This enables you to quickly assemble a functional packaging set that will meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of your formulation.

If you decide not to use the spray pump any longer, we recommend first emptying it and removing any product residues. Then dispose of the packaging according to the recommendations resulting from the material designation given in the product parameters for this item. Take into account the local waste-sorting rules in your municipality or city and place the individual parts into the appropriate separate collection streams. Recycling the packaging is more environmentally friendly than disposing of it in mixed waste.
