Those stacks of plastic bottles under the sink should be thrown away. It gets really annoying fighting with this weak plastic bottle containing nothing much. It is time to add some weight to your cleaning supplies.
A reusable glass spray bottle does just that. The beauty of it sitting on the counter speaks for itself. You will definitely miss the noise of your previous plastic one.
The first step is to order a bottle in amber or cobalt blue color at Amazon. These colors provide additional protection of the solutions from UV light because they do not degrade the composition.
The second step is a funnel and the solution of your choice. Personally, I use the Grove Collaborative glass cleaner solution because the small bottle lasts very long and saves your money and trips.
Make sure the spray is made of metal, not plastic. Otherwise, the trigger clogs after a week of usage. Metal triggers are never jammed or leaky like those from Sally’s Organics.
Use the masking tape to label your bottle. Even though chalkboard labels look great, they are optional. You just write on it Counters, Windows or whatever you choose to avoid any mix-ups of vinegar and soap solution.
At first, you will have some trouble getting used to the weight. Do not forget about it while moving around your apartment. Although it is a good thing to remember that this is an additional safety measure and you should not step on the bottle.
Overall, this small addition changes the cleanliness of your apartment. First of all, it helps to reduce tons of plastic garbage recycling each month. Second, it is economically and environmentally beneficial. Your children will definitely appreciate the organization of your cleaning.
