If I mix in essential oils in this bottle, will it clog up the tube? I've have this happen before with some spray bottles.

Yes it will. They are great spray bottles but my daughter mixed up some all natural liquids (hot pepper juice, and other things that were liquified) for bug spray on her organic garden and it clogged up and she couldn't get it unclogged. We had to throw it away.

I strongly doubt it. I mixed 1 cup vinegar, then filled the bottles up just H2O. I topped it off with about 20 drops of essence lemon verbena (slightly oily) all 3 bottles that I purchased the sprayers defaulted with in several hours of use (not constant use). I couldn't believe it. I bought them for their "industrial" strength...all 3 the spray mechanism just "quit"...I can't imagine what WD would do!!!

i went to the suppliers website for that information. They have published a Youtube video that was very helpful. One recommendation is that the contents of the container must be thoroughly dissolved. Then let it stand for 10 minutes to see if any of the contents settle. If so, shake the container agin, wait another 10 minutes. It will save you a lot of time later dislodging clogs in your spray attachement.

if you are refering to the pump bottle it gives a nice even spray which is what you want to cover your filter evenly so the pump bottle or aerosol can would both work well. Have an old sheet of newspaper to use to get the pump started spraying evenly (primed, if you will) same with the aerosol can. That way you don't get big heavy spots of the oil, you want it nice and even.

My experience with it was that the nozzle did get clogged just spraying it and it ran down the can. Fortunately I had more than one bottle and the second bottle didn't clog and it worked great. We used it again on another project and it sprayed fine the second time.

That is what I did. I mixed it 50/50 with purified water.Since I am on a drilled water well, I boiled the water. Then let it cool, (but not cold). Put in an equal amount of flakes. Stirred them until the flakes were dissolved.Then put it into a spray bottle... It worked out OK. (No clogged sprayer like I thought might would happen).

I have not had that happen. I have used it in my carpet shampooer, and in squeeze bottles (an old dish detergent bottle) and in spray bottles. ALWAYS dilute it before putting it in any container! For the carpet cleaning machine, I have the type that has a separate clean water tank and a separate detergent tank, and the machine mixes it together, but when using this solution I dilute it first and fill both tanks with the DILUTED mixture. For spraying, I find that spray bottles are a pain to deal with, so I use an old Dawn dishwashing liquid squeeze bottle and dilute it with tap water. It's easier to squeeze out the amount I need, especially when mopping the floor. I wrap a microfiber cloth around the Swiffer sweeper and use this cleaner and my floors are squeaky clean!

I have had no problems only using part of the bottle. And I almost always only use part of the bottle because I mix the colors. So no worries.

Yes it says on the bottle not to dilute it, just pour into spray bottle and use as usual.

I would think so. I usually mix up whatever I have in a separate container and pour it into the sprayer but I think you could mix it up in the sprayer if you so desired. Hope this helps.

It's in the form of an oil, so you could get it into a spray bottle, but I can't speak to how safe it would or would not be using it that way. I put it into water and use it in a vaporizor; I have not attempted to use the oil in any other way.

I took 25 drops thru the dropper. I didn't mix it. Hope it helps you, like it has me.

I've seen somewhere that you can use it in a spray bottle. But I'm unsure if being deluded would make it go bad over time. I would recommend just mixing as you need.

I use essential oils diluted with alcohol, so it's just a careful pouring situation. The opening isn't too tiny, so if you're careful it shouldn't be a problem. There are droppers and such out there that you can get also. If it's a spray bottle you're transferring from, then I'm not sure what you might do - maybe just put the opening of the travel bottle really close and just squirt it in (that might be a lot of squirting!) Can you open the spray bottle (some are sealed, some aren't...) and pour?

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

Being a salt product, doubt if any sprayer bottle wouldn't clog. Don't let the sprayer part stop you from trying this. A little bit goes a long way. You're just going to overspray with a spray bottle anyway. Find a small dropper bottle of some kind. I had a empty glass liquid stevia dropper bottle I use. You are only going to use a few drops at a time. Keep the rest in the original bottle with the cap on it. You know how hairspray clogs. Same thing. Actually they should put this in a regular bottle. Hope this helps you realize you wouldn't want to use the sprayer part anyway. Just keep all lids tight. Turns to salt quickly once it hits the air.

You should use a fine sprayer, like the 2-gallon pump type. You will blow through the bottle of this stuff in no time using a hose-end sprayer.
