Ideas for dealing with home cleaning refillables? (feddit.uk)

We are currently in a silly situation when dealing with refillable products for home, and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.

If I wanted shower gel (for example), all the refillable locations require a bottle with the capacity printed on it, and for it to be empty. And basically I don't want to wait until my shower gel is out completely before getting any more, so I would want an intermediate container however I cannot find a 1l bottle that has the capacity embossed on it so that I can take it to the refill station, and bring it home. I really don't want to buy another small plastic bottle with the capacity on a paper label that does one refill of the gel, and would have to be replaced when the label comes off.

Completely agree, and that's what I want. But at least around here they want the bottles marked with the capacity so they charge that much once filled.

I hoped that someone might have a suggestion where to get one that's properly marked. All the ones I have seen in stores and online are just basically 1L bottles, but without the capacity printed or embossed.

Something like this would be great. https://www.ampulla.co.uk/shop/plastic/plastic-jerry-cans/1-litre-white-plastic-jerry-can-38mm-t-e-screw-cap/

I'll have to ask if the capacity is marked.
