Spray bottles serve many purposes in our everyday lives and in our jobs such as cleaning, cosmetics, and self-care. High-quality spray bottles like the ones from CR will give you the highest performance, and knowing how to refill them properly will help extend their nicely. Knowing the correct method for refill a spray bottle help to eliminate certain dangers like spills. Below is a step-by-step process to refill a spray bottle in the safest way possible.
You will need the empty spray bottle (plastic or glass), the liquid you want to refill it with, a funnel, and an absorbent cloth. You will need to ensure that the funnel and cloth you’re using is clean and hasn’t come in contact with anything that could contaminate the refill spray liquid you’re using. This is even more important in the case of the liquid you’re using being food or skin related.
You want to make sure the liquid and the bottle are compatible. CRs PET spray bottles will work perfect with most water-based liquids like toners or cleaners. For oil-based liquids like most essential oils, glass bottles are the way to go. Most of the liquids you are considering to refill a spray bottle with will be non-fluid. Make sure you only use non-volatile and/or non-corrosive solvents if the spray bottle is PET plastic, and if it is glass, use only liquid that are corrosive. If you’re spray is for cosmetics or medical purposes, it is the law to only use compliant liquids.
Before starting the refill process, give the spray bottle a thorough cleaning to make sure that the bottle is as clean as possible to eliminate the risk of possible contamination. This is best done by rinsing water in each and every compartment of the nozzle. Then remove the nozzle to the bottle spray assembly and put it in water, and if it has an absorption cloth, place that in a separate bowl with water and thoroughly clean with a soft bristle brush. Then make sure both the bottle and the nozzle are completely dry, as it is very important, especially when the liquid type is being changed, that no water remains in the bottle.
When filling the spray bottle, if goal is to fill it all the way to the top, the bottle should first be inverted with the funnel in place before liquid is poured in to trap all air. If air has a thorough way to escape, then all liquid is sure to be drawn in, which can only occur when air can fully fill the nozzle compartment.
If you notice any spills, wipe them away right away and look for any spills at the seal that you can wipe away.
Put the nozzle back on, and secure the cap by giving it a gentle rotation. We don’t want it too tight. Spray the head multiple times to get some of the product out and finish priming. We want to look for any leaking, and you may need to adjust the cap or nozzle. Quality Control seals help to eliminate leaking, so be sure you’ve installed the seal properly.
It’s best to keep spray bottles out of extreme heat and sunlight. For bottles that you won’t be using for a while, make sure to thoroughly clean and dry them beforehand. In the meantime, try to unclog it with warm water to keep it clean. It’s best to keep some spray bottles out of extreme heat and sunlight. This helps prolong their utility.
