How to Unclog a Cleaning Spray Bottle

If you have a spray bottle that is clogged, here is an easy fix.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• boiling hot water
• bowl
• dish soap
• vinegar
• (lemon juice if vinegar doesn't work)

1. Soak spray bottle nozzle in vinegar for ten minutes.

2. Boil water.

3. Pour water in bowl and add dish soap. Remove nozzle from vinegar and let soak in water until it becomes warm enough to put your hands in.

4. Shake nozzle around in warm water, allowing the water to flush in and out of nozzle. Also, pump nozzle underwater to loosen up the clog.

5. Remove nozzle from water, leaving the tube part of it submerged so you can pump warm water through it.

6. Run under hard-running hot water to rinse off any residual cleaning product that has been loosened by soaking in vinegar and the hot, soapy water.

7. If the problem persists, repeat steps one through six.

Tips & Warnings

• If the vinegar doesn't work, try lemon juice.
• If your cleaning bottle's nozzle is broken, this process will not help.
