I have a pump spray bottle that will not spray when I pump it, how can I get it to spray again?

Question

It is like when I pump it no liquid comes out and there is no pressure building. It just seems to dribble out liquid even though I pump it until my arm hurts. This has happened alot with other bottles before but I am tired of throwing them away. Is there a way to get them spraying again?

Answer 1

Sounds like it is simply plugged with product, whatever is inside.  Run it under very very hot water for about 2-3 minutes and the product should dissolve or at least loosen up, allowing you to use the spray pump again.   You might also want to wash it with a bit of soap or baking powder.

Answer 2

Take the sprayer off and put in glass of very warm water (top down)  and leave sit for several hours.  Take a nail brush and brush over spray nozzle.  It will work then.
