amazing vid! saved me a from throwing out 2 spray bottles. i added my own touch by smearing a thin layer of silicone grease into the shaft where the pump slides.
Your awesome. My bf told me it was the bleach and chemical I put in there breaking the nozzle eating it away??? I wanted to replied "so they sell spray bottles only for water, right I broke it." I know he is wrong and so of course I asked Google In front of him and I was guided to your very educational helpful and very simple fix of a video, thank you for the great detail and demonstration and for making the video so I could just press play and hush him up. Real men problem solve , just wanted you to know your much appreciated.
I'll admit to not wanting to buy another spray bottle -- I'd pick up a dollar if it were on the ground, after all. Then there's the whole plastic ending up in a dump for eternity, even though it was supposed to be recycled (I've read some stuff). I've taken to saving spray bottles, that work reliably, to switch out for a dud. This is even better! Thanks for adding another tool to my arsenal
I put a smaller spring inside the larger one instead of stretching it, works perfect now. I pulled the spring from an old pen, it's exactly the same length as the larger one.
thank you so much!! your video was the only fix that worked for me!! also for me sometimes its about not wanting to run to the store in the middle of doing something to get another bottle so thanks again!!
another thing you can add to this fix is to use a little silicone grease on the piston part that goes up & down so there will be less friction or less grab it worked for my bottle. If it happens again I'll try this
This helped me take mine apart enough to get at the spring and discover that it's simply broken. Now trying to get into another bottle that doesn't work to see if I can use the spring from that to fix this one. I get what you say about it not being about the dollar. I don't want to have to stop ironing and go to the store and buy another spray bottle, especially as I live in Europe and that means public transportation. Also, the shops are shut on Sunday, so I couldn't find one anyway, and tomorrow is a national holiday - shops shut again. I just want to get on with dampening my clothes and ironing them. So now it's a trick to get at the spring in the other bottle, as it's a different kind of mechanism and it appears that the spring is sealed inside plastic (which is highly unlikely...). I'll work this out!
Love this! I saw four other videos. Like a good American you got right down to it. Plus my bottle is also a WalMart purchase. They all have the same issue. I would buy these at HD for $3 and the produced the same results. Thanks for the tip 👍🏽🇱🇷 Going to try this.
I can't tell you how many of those things doesn't matter what brand spray bottle I have a dead down wind scent killing spray bottle I bought last year that won't work this video will change everything thank you so very much keep up the good work God bless and be safe
Lubing where the pump slides also helps to reduce the friction, that's how I've fixed some of my bottles in the past. I just put a drop of oil in the cylinder. Still working even 3-4 months later.
Thank God for men like this. I have same one same issue single after 30 year marriage and this saved me asking long drawn out man splanning lol. Saved hers or buying another simple east fix. Your appreciated tomihlght kind sir. Sleep great and have a wonderful week end!!!
Thank you! I just about had a "come apart" over the 4th Home Depot crap a** spray bottle I bought that quit spraying AGAIN. Fixed the crappy thing. It had a rubber sheath around the spring. Ripped half it off trying to get the spring out. Works fine without the half that was further inside.
peace. I am very impressed and can't wait to show this DIY in front of family and friends when needed. I'll make like I came up with the idea🤭 Thanks my guy. Thumbs up.
We've got the same crap here in the UK, pound shop rubbish. .....it's the frustration with these bloody things in the middle of a job.not the fact of saving a quid.
They're a little more than a dollar and they didn't last more than a few weeks.. I have two of them every time I squeeze the trigger the fluid goes all over the place , No matter how I adjust the front nozzle when I squeeze the trigger lots of it goes out the nozzle like it's supposed to but lots of it kick back and squeeze all over my hands
This would probably work, at least temporarily, if I could get past step one. That pin, man... it just won't come off. I have a feeling it's because of the retaining end on the other side, but if I cut that off, it won't stay put once it's re-assembled. The one thing that seems to be built to last on this spray bottle, and it's the stupid pin. Augh!
He didn't really show how he got the pin out... you put a screwdriver INSIDE the side with smaller pinhead and it pops off. Don't try to pry it on the outside.
My boyfriend is a bit irresponsible I let him use my spray bottle that has my dilated all purpose cleaner that I spray around the house. He manhandled it I guess and it won't spray properly. Due to the plunger getting stuck
It’s absolutely beyond reason that we even need a video for this. Walmart can’t sell one that actually works?? I mean for fucks sake it’s a spray bottle.
It’s funny but also not so funny that this video exists. I am currently having the same issues but a good four months after you made this video, which means they clearly have yet to fix the issue during production. So Hey Walmart….. FIX YOUR DAMN BOTTLES OR STOP SELLING THEM!!
@gregorym1126 Sir, Your effort in helping people is inspiring. May you be successful in life and your business! Your video help saved quit a few my just-about-to-throw-away spray bottles because of the same issue XD Thank you!
Those bottles may only be a dollar, but your video is priceless. I have 3 that now work. Thank you
amazing vid! saved me a from throwing out 2 spray bottles. i added my own touch by smearing a thin layer of silicone grease into the shaft where the pump slides.
Sweet & gentle! You've cured many of people who became stuck when their spray bottle failed! Reviving us with a simple fix. Thank you very much!

Thank you sir! You're a gentleman and a scholar!! This saved me some kind of aggravation.
Dude, I had been having so much trouble with these. This is the EXACT video and explanation I needed. Thank you!
I put a smaller spring inside the larger one instead of stretching it, works perfect now. I pulled the spring from an old pen, it's exactly the same length as the larger one.
worked perfectly, my girl “broke” the same one and said we need to buy a new one but i had other plans, appreciate the help man!
thank you so much!! your video was the only fix that worked for me!! also for me sometimes its about not wanting to run to the store in the middle of doing something to get another bottle so thanks again!!
Relatable 💁🏽
I love this dude. I had no expectation of finding a solution to this problem, but figured I’d try. Totally blown away.
Thank you!! I was so bummed thinking I would have to toss the spray bottle I literally just bought. 😊
Great video! It really helped me. Now it's working much better, needs another little tweak but stretching the spring really did help! Thanks 😊.
another thing you can add to this fix is to use a little silicone grease on the piston part that goes up & down so there will be less friction or less grab it worked for my bottle. If it happens again I'll try this

Saving our sanity - 1 spray bottle at a time. Thank you!!!

Just as you said, it is not so much the 1$ ,,, but frustration of it not working just when you need it...God bless you... excellent video

THANK YOU, this was so helpful and easy to follow. Appreciate it
Thank you! Your tip saved me a trip into town to get new spray bottles :)

Thanks Dad!
Thank you, for your time, is helpful
Tnx

Ain't 'bout the $!

YES!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I bought 2 and neither one pumps water out of it. Replaced the bottles from a different batch. Neither one works. Can you fix mine please?
Thank you!!!!
Which part/Where do you put the lube or silicone at? Thank you
Most useful video on the internet yes or yes?

Mine leaks on every trigger pull 😡
It din not work
