How to open Foaming Spray Bottle

How to use: Foaming Spray Bottle

The foaming head aerates the formula so it clings to vertical surfaces. A standard sprayer will still dispense the liquid, but it runs off instead of sitting where you need it. →

Do I need the Foaming Spray Bottle? Could I use an alternative sprayer?

Bathroom & Shower Cleaner, Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner and Stain Remover. Universal Cleaner, Dishwashing Liquid and Sensitive Laundry Liquid are not designed to foam. →

Which products can I use with Foaming Spray Bottle?

Nine times out of ten it is the wrong refill. Check the bottle holds a foaming formula, then soak the head in warm water and pump it through to clear the nozzle. →
