No. We are providing an aesthetic, durable, refillable vessel for you to put your own products inside.

You may choose to make your own products, inspired by our journal with lots of DIY recipes (and more to come).

Or you may choose to fill with products from your favourite brands. Ideally these products will come in the form of refill concentrates, dissolvable powders, tablets or bars, or refill pouches which significantly reduce plastic waste.

It is very important not to store chemical reactives, biologically active ingredients, solvents, carbonated liquids, strong acids or strong bases in your vessels.

Please keep your vessels out of direct sunlight if they contain any of the following ingredients:

• Volatile solvents such as alcohol or rubbing alcohol.
• Hydrogen peroxide (and only store in heavily diluted form, otherwise use and discard).
• Large quantities of essential oils.
• Vinegar if mixed with bi-carb soda or other reactive substances.

These ingredients can cause an excessive amount of pressure to build up inside the vessel and can cause the dispensers to fail, the product to leak, or in extreme cases, it could cause the vessel to explode.

The first seal you will see as you open the vessel is stamped "Sealed for your protection." This seal proves that your vessel has not been used, or tampered with. You may remove this and dispose of it.

The second seal is the cap liner, permanently adhered to the top of the cap. This liner is not essential, but is ideal for added protection against product leakage from pressure build up.

As our vessels allow for a wide variety of products to be stored inside them, it was challenging to find a cap liner that was suitable for all liquids. The adhesive bond under the cap liner may be compromised if you are using certain essential oils, alcohol or vinegar in your vessels, if so please email hello@amelihome.com for a free replacement seal which is adhesive free.

Please note, we are currently mid way through production of a new forever seal that will be compatible with almost all liquids and they will be available soon.

Our sprays are designed for general use with household cleaners and laundry liquids typically dispensed through spray triggers.

If you're using essential oils, please do so with caution. Oils that are not properly emulsified can cause blockages in the spray mechanism. We recommend dispersing essential oils with vodka, alcohol, or a suitable solubiliser to help prevent build-up. If you experience clogging, try soaking the trigger head in warm water, then place the dip tube into warm water and pump a few times to flush the mechanism.

Please note:

• Our sprays are not compatible with all liquids.
• Mixtures containing baking soda, powders, or undiluted essential oils may clog the mechanism and impair functionality.
  

Our sprays are compatible with diluted vinegar-based solutions. However, be aware that the internal mechanism includes metal components that may degrade over time with prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients.

Our product trials indicated that most liquids listed on our label sheets performed effectively with our sprays. That said, we’re unable to test all possible formulations.

We offer complimentary spray replacements within the first 6 months of purchase for manufacturing faults. Please note this does not apply to damage caused by incompatible liquids. If your spray trigger is affected by such use, replacements can be purchased here.

Our vessel pumps are designed to dispense liquids with a medium viscosity, such as hand wash, shampoo, body wash, and detergents, just to name a few. They’re medium-output pumps, ideal for use on the face, hands, or around the home.

Thicker products like shampoo and body wash will dispense with ease, although you may need an extra pump or two to get your desired amount. Based on our product trials, the liquids featured on our label sheets are all compatible with this pump style.

That said, we have no control over what customers choose to dispense, so please note:

• Highly viscous products may cause blockages due to their thick consistency.
• Products with large particles—like body scrubs—can stop the pump from working altogether.
• Thin, low-viscosity liquids may not dispense effectively and may spray upward rather than down

If you're experiencing dispensing issues, we recommend rinsing your pump regularly with warm water to maintain optimal flow.

We offer complimentary pump replacements within the first 6 months of purchase for pumps that exhibit manufacturing faults. Please note that this warranty does not cover issues arising from the use of incompatible liquids.

If your pump has been affected due to the use of such substances, replacements are available for purchase here.

Our vessels are not designed for travel and should always be kept upright to prevent leakage. Changes in air pressure during flights will almost certainly cause the cap to leak.

1. Clean the surface thoroughly
Use isopropyl alcohol to wipe the exterior of the vessel and allow it to dry completely. A clean surface is essential for adhesion and prevents peeling later.

2. Transfer the letters onto the film
Press each letter on the transfer film with a bank card or your fingernail to ensure they stick properly to the transfer film before removing. Peel it off carefully. If a letter does not stay on the film, carefully place the transfer film back down, and repeat step 2 again.

3. Position the label correctly
Place the transfer film where you want the label. We recommend positioning it just above the 500 ml or 16.9 fl oz mark and centering it based on the midpoint between those measurements.

4. Apply firm pressure
Use your thumbs to press the entire label flat against the vessel. Then go over each letter with a bank card or fingernail to ensure they are fully adhered.

5. Remove the transfer film slowly
Lift the transfer film slowly at a low angle. If any letter lifts with it press it back into place and press again.

6. To reveal your waterproof oil proof durable label
Remove the film to reveal.  If any letters are not in correct position, use tweezers to carefully realign.

You can also view a video of the application process on the label product page.

The labels are waterproof and oil proof and designed for longevity so they cannot be peeled off.

Please use a hair dryer on the medium setting in short bursts. The label will peel off with ease and we recommend using a little eucalyptus oil (or similar) to remove the residue. Please then clean and dry, ideally with isopropyl alcohol, before applying your new label.

Our refillable vessels are made of 100% recycled HDPE plastic, which means they are extremely durable, however they are not compatible with all liquids so it is important to check that the liquids you wish to dispense are compatible with HDPE plastic.

It is very important not to store chemical reactives, biologically active ingredients, solvents, carbonated liquids, strong acids or strong bases in your vessels.

You may add essential oils to your vessels if they are diluted with other liquids or carrier oils. Liquids with an extremely high concentration of essential oils can potentially dissolve the vessel plastic over time and / or cause the bottle to warp, so this is not recommended.

The adhesive on the cap liner will be compromised with certain liquids, including some essential oils. If this occurs, please reach out for an adhesive free cap liner at hello@amelihome.com. We are currently producing universal cap liners and they will be available to purchase soon.

Warm or fluctuating temperatures can cause spray triggers to leak. If your vessel is stored in a room exposed to sunlight during the day (rather than tucked away in a cupboard), we recommend switching the nozzle to the OFF position when not in use.

It is recommended to:

• Always store your spray vessels below 30°C and away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid shaking your vessels to mix products, as this increases internal pressure.
• If you’ve shaken the bottle to mix DIY ingredients, allow a few moments before sealing the cap to release any built-up pressure.

Over time, the vessels may fade if exposed to direct sunlight.

It is very important to keep your vessels out of direct sunlight if they contain any of the following ingredients:

• Volatile solvents such as alcohol or rubbing alcohol.
• Large quantities of essential oils.
• Vinegar if mixed with bi-carb soda or other reactive substances.

These ingredients can cause an excessive amount of pressure to build up inside the vessel and can cause the dispensers to fail, the product to leak, or in extreme cases, it could cause the vessel to explode.

The vessels and tray are dishwasher safe, however the cap liner and the bespoke labels are not, so we advise against this.

Please clean all components every time you refill your vessels, to avoid the accumulation of bacteria. 

We also recommend a weekly clean of the exterior. Please ensure the base of the vessels and inside of the tray are clean and dry to avoid mould growth.

Mix a solution of warm water and dishwashing liquid to clean the inside and outside of the vessels.

To clean the pump or spray, use the same solution above, pour it into your vessel and place the dip tube into the water and pump or spray the dispenser several times to rinse thoroughly.

Allow each part to dry if possible before reassembling.

We also recommend a gentle clean of the exterior and tray once a week with a soft cloth and some mild dishwashing liquid. Please be gentle with the labels for better longevity of the text.

Our vessels are made to last up to 10 years, and our pumps and sprays are tested for at least 2,000 uses. While issues are very rare, we know that peace of mind matters.

That’s why every order is backed by our Complimentary Dispenser Replacement Program, valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. If your pump or spray experiences a genuine manufacturing fault (not caused by buildup, damage, or incompatible liquids), we’ll happily replace it - free of charge.

Just email us at hello@amelihome.com with your order number and a quick note about the issue.

Our manufacturers’ quality control tests show that Améli pumps and sprays are designed to perform for at least 2,000 uses.

If you're experiencing issues, please:

• First ensure the liquid you’re using is suitable (see guidance above).
• Some liquids may require a pump specifically suited to thinner or thicker consistencies.
• Try the recommended cleaning steps listed above, as this often resolves minor blockages or pressure-related issues.

If the issue persists and appears to be a manufacturing fault (not caused by product misuse or incompatibility), email us at hello@amelihome.com with details of the liquid you're using. If it’s compatible with our vessels, we’ll gladly send you a free replacement within 12 months of purchase, in line with our Complimentary Dispenser Replacement Program.

Replacement pumps and sprays are also available to purchase anytime on our website.

Yes. We have undertaken testing on our products with the global leaders in polymer testing. This testing has proven the safety of the post-consumer recycled materials used to manufacture our vessels, including being 100% BPA free.

Pump vessel: 8cm x 18cm (including pump height. The pump height does not change once opened).

Spray vessel 8cm x 19.5cm including spray height.

Tray 16.5cm x 8.4cm.

While plastic bottles can technically last up to 10 years - and that’s what most manufacturers, including ours, advise as the maximum lifespan - we recommend replacing them every 2 years for hygiene and safety.

Over time, sunlight exposure can weaken the plastic, and even gentle daily use can create microscopic scratches that may harbour bacteria. As much as we love the idea of our bottles being kept forever, the reality is that safe, intentional use sometimes means knowing when it’s time to refresh.

Our first business objective is to drive the adoption of a new consumption model for personal and home care products, to eliminate single use plastic bottles. 

This is a big shift for a lot of consumers, so it was important to make this an easy transition first and foremost, without obstacles that will impact the user experience, health and safety.

Throughout our pre-manufacturing trial phase, our Founder tested both glass and aluminium bottles but after one of the bottles smashed in the shower, she concluded that this was not a practical or safe solution. From a safety point of view, glass is not an ideal material in wet rooms, particularly when most shower ledges are slanted for water run-off. It also poses a high risk to children and the elderly, so at this point, plastic is a safer option that is much more likely to be adopted.

The alternative was aluminium, however from a sustainability point of view, at recycling facilities painted aluminium bottles
are often confused with plastic bottles which often leads to them heading to landfill. From an aesthetic point of view, painted aluminium bottles scratch very easily, which encourages consumers to feel the need to replace the bottle more frequently, again defeating the purpose.

Our vessels are made of 100% recycled HDPE plastic which has the highest recycling rate of all plastics in Australia.

Yes. Your pump dispensers and spray triggers are the same size and both will fit any 500ml vessel.
