Maintaining and Caring for your Body Wash Pump & reusable bottle

A reusable bottle makes body wash refills simple and sustainable, but the pump needs a little care to keep working smoothly. With just a few easy steps, you can unclog, test, and maintain your pump so it lasts longer. Here’s how to keep your reusable bottle in top shape.

Start by removing the pump from your reusable bottle and soaking it in warm water for 1–2 hours. This helps dissolve any dried body wash or natural residue that might be clogging the mechanism. Keeping your reusable bottle pump clean ensures smoother use and extends the life of your refill system.

After soaking, test the pump in warm water before reattaching it to your reusable bottle. It should move freely and dispense water without sticking. This step confirms whether the clog has cleared. Regular pump care keeps your reusable bottle working seamlessly and makes every refill more effective.

If the pump works on water but struggles with body wash, your formula may be too thick. Simply add a bit of water to your reusable bottle and mix. This adjustment makes the body wash easier to dispense, without affecting quality, while keeping your reusable bottle in smooth working order.

If the pump doesn’t work even on water after taking the previous steps, it may be broken. Reach out and we’ll arrange a replacement so you can keep enjoying your body wash refills without interruption. Caring for your reusable bottle keeps your sustainable routine stress-free.
