quick fix SPRAY BOTTLE (nozzle sprayer, trigger spray, mister spray)

When you see how easy it is to fix the spray bottles, chances are you’re not gonna just throw it away. Especially if it’s a spray bottle you really like. You’ve got to make sure that you use the correct lubricant. Silicon grease does not break down plastic or rubber. If use something like automotive grease the fix will work for a little while until the plastic breaks down and will stick twice as bad. Having the right grease will allow you to fix i’ll kinds of plastic pieces

This was fantastically short and to the point. The solution fixed my vinegar spray bottle immediately.

[@amiekim]

Yes... Low-budget videos can be just as good as monied videos. The worst are the ones where the person drones on and on for 15 mins to fix something that took 60 secs.

[@WCove99]

Exactly what I want to fix. Only I don't have the silicone grease on hand.

[@lillianpagano8097]

I used coconut oil and it worked like a charm!

[@MsJamillah2]

Coconut oil worked! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for saving me some money! 🙂

[@mr_godse_patil]

Later oil converts in white greec and choke the spray 😮

[@amiekim]

Hint: If you don't have silicon grease, there might be something else around the house that works. I've used silicone-based personal lubricant to fix sliding closet doors. For my spray bottle, I happened to have a sample packet of silicone-based hair product.

[@AmazingRebel23]

lmao mad respect for not throwin that lube out, or worse, trying to sell it at a garage sale. Unfortunately i have seen that happen 3 different times.

[@ChelsieNotChelsea]

Thanks so much hahaha! Saved myself from buying some grease.

[@mirlamontano6640]

one of the best tutorials i've seen on youtube!! it worked like a charm. thank you

[@mattwaters6987]

This video only came to my feed 3 years late but, just tried silicone dry spray on a fabreeze spray bottle and it works excellent! Many thanks for sharing this. 👍

[@gogos869]

Thank you! I have a different kind of bottle, so I just took off the hose thingy and put a drop of silicone in the female end. It worked instantly! Who’d of thought? I just went ahead and did it to every spray bottle. They all spray better now. Yippee! I love ❤you!

[@mrkool9009]

Excellent video. Straight to the point

[@BattleOfBowties]

Thanks for this I am tired of replacing these damn bottles.

Looks like you forgot to add the link for the silicone grease.

[@nobujak]

As a motorcyclist, I took advantage of Honda chain lubricant spray and it worked beautifully.

[@chrise0515]

Thank you. all my cleaning bottles were doing this. I was so frustrated

[@Strytax]

lol i was dealing with this for so long and and i thought it was something complicated inside the mechanism but it's way simpler than i thought it was.

[@lililouis8929]

Wow! The fact that I trash sooooo many spray heads thinking It was bad! Thank you!

[@lililouis8929]

I used Vaseline and warm up the spray head for 20 sec in microwave 😂😅🫢 It worked

[@stellaz2595]

@@lililouis8929 Vaseline is petroleum based.

[@jimburnetto]

thanks for posting this. It didn't work immediately but I put pressurized air up through the straw hole & it started working!

[@KittinPyro]

I made bacon the other night and had the grease still on the counter (Bad to dump it down the drain, you’ll have to call a plumber.) figured Oils are oil, so I just used some bacon grease lol. Worked like a charm~

[@michaelbrown507]

It took a few mins & more not-helpful tries to get here, but’uh, thank u sir. God bless’ya & that #logic & conciseness, a rare combination indeed.

[@poonambalani3377]

Thank you. Vaseline helped😊

[@TheStigma]

the sprayer heads are usually made out of PP (polypropylene), which is quite hardy and resistant to most petroleum products, so I wouldn't worry too much about that ruining it. Some other plastics and rubber are more sensitive to solvents though (usually from spaycans), so be aware of that. Silicone is ideal for plastic-on plastic and any sort of gaskets and wet areas - so its a geat choice for this. very useful to have a tube of it.

[@mikecoolgreen]

i used rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm

[@Lanoguard]

Hi there. We use our own grease for this too. Lanoguard grease. Lanolin based as you say needs a non petroleum one. Good video.

[@livefree6878]

👍👍

[@user-hb4up2ix4v]

Perfect! Worked a treat.. Thanks!

[@55stevieray]

Brilliant, it worked instantly. Thank you, sir.

[@cayceemay6279]

All this trouble I've had trying to get just a couple good sprays put of the bottle... and the solution was in my bedroom all along? 😵

[@nothing578]

😂

[@TheOnePasty]

This worked fabulously. Thank you.

[@mind-of-neo]

That nozzle looks like it came off a mean green bottle.. which is exactly what i have that's stuck lol

[@BlueYoshTV]

Im so confused. I bought this new spray bottle from Home Depot and it just stopped working randomly. Hopefully this works. Cant find the silicon lubricant though. I never thought of this. Thank you for sharing

[@rohanbari]

Thanks man, you saved my Collin!

[@robertnovoa341]

But my problem is inside the trigger itself I don't know what you call that where the spring is and that piece of plastic that goes against the spring that goes back and forth in the sprayer that seems to become loosen and it sprays very tiny after a while how do I fix that? If you know what I mean 🙄

[@william8654]

Thank you! Very frustrating trying to get it to work before.

[@aquarising8681]

Mahalo for posting it was to the point. Loved this

[@102mzr]

Thank you! I found some bicycle chain lubricant that was petroleum-free and with 1 drop it was back to normal 😃

[@doug3102]

This worked perfectly. Thank you!

[@tazblink]

I have used white lithium grease also many are made for plastics, seems to work well.

[@dreenmersher3916]

Good job🤗🤗.Thank you.

[@elizabethking6397]

I bought the Stars822 heatsink plaster made with silicone grease on my 3 spray bottles but they didn't work. Is there a specific part of the spray gun where you have to put the grease? Thank u.

[@smokeysmith1282]

The issue I continually have is the sprayers fail after very little use when I’m pumping pure well water, and it doesn’t make sense to me. Is well water more coarse which causes pump damage?

[@finnsionnach9989]

while it should not be "more coarse" there may be other factors that depend on the well water, ours is salty and has alot of other odds and ends that leave residue when it dries in THAT case cleaning the nozzle with vinegar (soak it for a night in a glass?) might do you (your well water will be different and might need something else), but for the spring not returning this guy right here is a genius.. i can't count how many bottles i've thrown away over the spring not returning the trigger

[@1ycj]

Where’s the link?

[@mike.s.605]

crossing my fingers that standard silicon lubricant spray might be similar enough to what's described here. i have a cheap spray bottle with cleaning solution in it which i wouldn't mind sacrificing to test this theory. thanks for the tip.

[@pamalexander5480]

Did silicone spray work?

[@mike.s.605]

@@pamalexander5480 crap, I forgot to try, but I still need to. Thanks for the reminder.

[@skyshipmusic363]

Is there a brand name I can buy?

[@camelCased]

I have another problem. I had a pesticide in the bottle, so I wanted to wash it out. I screwed off the nuzzle, and then while rinsing the bottle, that small inner plastic thingie of the nozzle flew out. I put it back and screwed the cap on but now when I spray, I don't get a mist but just a tiny stream out. Ok, it's "good enough", but it doesn't cover a wide surface anymore, because it sprays to a single point 😀 I tried to turn the cap both ways to adjust but it did not get the mist back. Not sure, what happened - maybe there was one more plastic piece inside that plastic thingie, and I lost it. Wondering if I can find something to replace it.

[@marianhunt8899]

Thank you!

[@julianb2491]

Do you know how to fix a spray bottle with a loose trigger? It doesn’t sit flush against the button anymore and shakes side to side. It’s causing it to leak a bit.

[@FlareCrest]

THANK YOU

[@nourhanateout7187]

How do you fix a loose trigger on spray bottle?

[@user-bg2su7rd1i]

will the silicone grease mix with the sprayed liquid?

[@GregBuck-tp1hu]

How to fix when does not spray?

[@syrettascott7838]

Thank you.

[@AmazingRebel23]

Unfortunately the trigger on my vintage 1990s St. Tropez spray bottle fell all the way off and broke. lmao

[@CarmenGarcia-bu3so]

Vaseline work?

[@sonalg1988]

thanks

[@waterkingdavid]

Would Vaseline work?

[@sharifapatel6393]

Nope, that’s petroleum based

[@debbybrady1246]

What about WD40?

[@finnsionnach9989]

wd40 eats alot more stuff than you'd think. some plastics it is safe for- some it will eat. so depends on what the bottle is made of.. I'm pretty sure a little google time will come up with a list of what plastics are okay to use it on. (it will "last" less time than the silicone lube in any case as a thin liquid coating vs a glob of gel - you get the idea.

[@taojack1238]

IM is a trigger sprayer manufacturer

[@amelialuke8694]

How about mineral oil?

[@livefree6878]

Mineral oil might work temporarily, mineral oil is made out of the same oil products that the plastic is made out of. Silicone grease would work great, sometimes you can find it in the plumbing section. Hope this helps

[@robertdavid9668]

Didnt work for me
