Product Organization /// What`s your bottle source

I found 22 0z bottles at the dollar store that have the dilution markings on them....with sprayers...which go right into the garbage. I actually re-purpose a lot of my empty bottles, and when I find a product I like, I buy it in large bottles.
 
Dollar Store and Wal Mart. I`ve been using spray waxes in the clear 8oz. ones , PB Air Freshener in the small finger sprayer ones and APC or RW in the metal ones.

so.....I did a brief google image search of theoretically some of my daily spray bottles. I`m not a photoshop expert or even a newbie. Going to pass on this clear label. I can see myself just getting frustrated to the point where I try 1 and then skip the rest. I`ll stick to my P touch for now.
 
Migue- OOOH, I`m a sucker for that shade of green :D So much so that my wife calls it [Accumulator`s Mother`s family name]-green as my sorta-wacky aunts introduced me to it.

I was doing this with my bottles. I was going to buy some colored label tape to try and match the color of the liquids inside. I decided against that, though.

Labeling the spray heads works out better for me now, since I keep these particular bottles in a relatively deep, rectangular plastic tote/box and I wouldn`t be able to see labels on the bottles.

And, the APC Lite has been redone to be in the same orientation as the rest. :)

I just might`ve left APC/etc. product labels opposite the rest to minimize the chance of an !oops!

But yeah, good idea labeling the sprayers. I`ve done the same with a Sharpie on a few that I wanted to render Accumulator-proof (some stayed on, others mostly wiped off with use). Accumulatorette got me a label-maker for Christmas, maybe my spray bottles caught her eye in a critical way, so eventually mine will be a bit more Autopian :D

what bottles do you have your sprayers attached to?
 
Those labels look great, and they won`t wear off as fast in that location.

I just like the Kwazar bottles, but you have to be careful of the heavy plastic ring at the bottom, which could scratch.
The bottle that lasted the longest though, with the most refills over the years, is the Pinnacle oval-shaped sprayer, like what they use with their clay lube. It falls over easier, but has lasted the longest.

Great idea! What sprayers are you using and how do you like them?

That`s funny! Maybe a good idea as well. I may have to revisit that idea soon. Once I reorganize (yet again) and condense my supplies.

Accumulatorette is a good woman, looking out for you like that :) I do use the Sharpie method to the bottom of my Kwazar bottles. I`m not sure why I did it that way this time around. I think, maybe, i was still finalizing what products will go in there in a more "permanent" way.

Those are Chemical Guys. I`ve always been fond of that simple bottle design. Same with Poorboy`s 16oz bottles. I really, really like a simple cylindrical bottle.
And that was one reason I stayed away from the Megs 32oz bottles for such a long time.

Thank you. So far, the Kwazar bottles are my absolute favorite, and I don`t mind paying the higher price tag for them. They are solid bottles with solid sprayers (IME)

I think someone mentioned Tolco? Whatever comes with the bottles from CG. I don`t care for the sprayers much. They don`t close off completely, and if allowed to tilt too much, can leak product. Early on, I found this out the hard way in a mobile detailing scenario. I mean, they`re okay for what they are.

Those look like the Chemical Guys bottles with tolco grey sprayers.

Correct, and yes, i guess they`re Tolco (?) - so I did see someone mention that here. :)

For sprayers, I like the adjustability I get from the Kwazar units. The double-action trigger pull is pretty cool, too.
