Review (5/5): Well made, leak-free bottles for a healthier, greener lifestyle
Since becoming a mom, I've been trying to live a greener, less toxic lifestyle. I've started cloth diapering & using un-paper towels. I've switched to natural body & laundry products. However, for some reason, I had been holding out on switching to chemical free cleaning and fabric/air fresheners. I'm not exactly sure why I was so hesitant. These bottles made making the switch fun and easy!
These bottles have both a mist and a stream spray option, as well as an option to turn off the spraying mechanism. Currently, I have one bottle filled with a 1:1 ratio of water to vinegar for use as glass cleaner. The mist option works well on my mirrors and shower doors. The mist option also works very well for both my homemade room/linen spray and my pest repellent spray. (Peppermint essential oil diluted with water and sprayed on the baseboards/around door and windows.) I use the direct stream option for my tub and tile cleaner. It works very well for spraying directly onto the grout.
At 16oz, the bottles are substantial but are not heavy in hand. The trigger is easy to squeeze, yet not flimsy. The glass itself is a gorgeous, deep cobalt blue. I keep my homemade air freshener in one of these bottles on the bathroom counter and have been asked multiple times about where I got it. They really are just so very pretty. Too pretty to be hidden under the sink like most other air freshener or cleaning supply bottles.
Often times, when you purchase cleaners from the store in inexpensive plastic bottles with these same mechanisms, the spray head tends to leak after a week or two of use. It never fails. These, however, are sturdy and seem to be much more heavy duty. I've used these bottles nearly daily and have not had any leaks whatsoever. As beautiful as these bottles are, this is what impressed me most. I'm extremely happy with this product and would highly recommend them!
