Cleaning: spray bottle fix?

Self-tutoring about cleaning: the spray bottle that worked, then didn’t, but now does.

The following is by my understanding.

I mention, in my post from Nov 18, 2025, Spray Nine. I bought some last summer, I think, and have been using it here and there ever since. While there are surprising things one can’t use it on, I find it’s great for cleaning plastic surfaces like deck chairs, shower stalls, etc.

I put some Spray Nine in a spray bottle, which worked fine for a few weeks. Then, about three months later, I tried it again, to find the sprayer blocked up somehow. The spray botte was cheap, but I still couldn’t believe it had stopped working.

Yesterday I transferred the Spray Nine into a different bottle, then filled the non-functioning spray bottle’s reservoir with just water. Believe it or not, after a few minutes, the sprayer worked just fine.
