Zep Professional Sprayer Bottle - 32 oz (Pack of 3) - HDPRO1 - Versatile Adjustable Nozzle Spray Bottles with a Fine Mist or Powerful Spray, Refillable for Diluted Concentrate

These are hands down the best spray bottles I have used for plant care. The sprayer delivers a consistent fine mist that is perfect for watering seedlings, misting leaves, and applying foliar sprays without blasting the soil or damaging delicate plants. The bottles are sturdy, the trigger is comfortable, and they do not clog or leak even with frequent use. They hold up well to repeated refills and different solutions, and the adjustable nozzle works smoothly. If you care for plants regularly and want reliable spray bottles that actually last, these are an excellent choice.

ZEP is always a good product…

These bottles I have used for many years. I decided to get new ones because the old ones I put bleach/water/dish soap/vinegar in the same bottle. Killed all the germs. Well I know not to do that again, but it was a emergency backup and I had to sanitize everything. Yep I know toxic, but what we had to clean up was also. This worked very, very well. Never fell apart these are a much better quality. It sprays very easy and very adjustable sprayer. It did not even leak after using the harsh chemicals, just started to look sticky and melting on the inside. Yep all them chemicals will do that. They are a great value and last way longer than any other spray bottle I have gotten. I have two large English Cream Golden Retrievers and sometimes, all the time, they like to get muddy. If it is just their legs, feet and tummy this works awesome to spray them down. Also if they are having tummy issues they have learned how to stop on the stoop and wait for a little bidet time. This is always what we do during the winter. These bottle can take pretty warm water and have no issues at all. Having two large white dogs I can't go on without having at least 2 of these on hand.

Great handle. It has a professional feel. The bottle can fill a lot of product which is convenient if you are using a lot.

• Follow the 30-second rinse rule: After each use (especially with cleaners, degreasers, concentrates, or anything sticky/thick), immediately pump plain warm water (or hot if safe for the residue) through the nozzle for 10–30 seconds. This flushes out residue from the dip tube, nozzle, and trigger mechanism before it dries and hardens. This simple step prevents ~90% of common issues like clogs or weak spray. • Empty the bottle if storing for more than a day or two—don’t leave chemical mixes sitting long-term, as they can degrade seals or cause buildup. Weekly or Deep Cleaning • Disassemble what you can: Remove the nozzle/head from the bottle if possible, pull out the dip tube gently, and separate adjustable parts. • Wash thoroughly: Fill the bottle halfway with hot water and a few drops of dish soap (like Dawn). Shake vigorously, then spray repeatedly to flush the entire system. For tougher residues (e.g., from degreasers or carpet cleaners), soak the trigger/nozzle assembly in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes, then use a soft brush, cotton swab, or old toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach areas like the nozzle opening and piston. • Rinse completely: Run clean water through until no soap or residue remains—spray until clear to flush the internals. • For mineral buildup (from hard tap water): Use filtered or distilled water for mixing/refilling when possible, or occasionally soak in a mild vinegar solution (1:1 water-vinegar) to dissolve calcium/lime deposits. Nozzle & Clog Prevention/Fixing • Adjust and test patterns regularly: After cleaning, cycle through mist-to-stream settings a few times with plain water to ensure smooth adjustment and no drips. • If clogging occurs: Soak the nozzle in warm water or vinegar solution, then gently poke the opening with a thin pin or needle (avoid damaging the orifice). For stubborn cases, a quick spray of WD-40 on the visible piston/spring area (behind the trigger) can revive sticky mechanisms—pump the trigger several times afterward, then rinse thoroughly. • Store smart: Keep the nozzle in the “off” position, cap on if available, and store in a cool, shaded spot away from direct sun to prevent plastic cracking or chemical degradation. Long-Term Care • Lubricate sparingly: Once a year (or if the trigger feels stiff), apply a tiny amount of food-grade lubricant or light spray of WD-40 to moving parts like the trigger piston—wipe off excess and test with water. • Inspect regularly: Check for cracks in the bottle, wear on the dip tube, or leaks around the trigger. The graduated markings make it easy to spot internal residue buildup early. • Use appropriately: These pro bottles handle a wide range of cleaners, but always match chemicals to compatibility (avoid extremely corrosive acids/bleaches long-term unless the bottle specifies resistance). With consistent rinsing and occasional deep cleans, these bottles should deliver that impressive 30-foot stream and fatigue-free spraying for years, even in heavy household, commercial, or industrial use. They’re a solid investment—treat them right and they’ll outperform cheap alternatives every time!
