Spray bottle! If you are the type that thinks it\&#;s not such a big deal whether your cleaning products come inside a glass or plastic container, well, I\&#;ve got another thing coming; there\&#;s a difference. A world of difference. Literally. You don\&#;t want to clean your living space, but leave the world a messier place than you found it.

Here are eight reasons why glass will always beat plastic in a \&#;Battle of Spray Bottles\&#; &#;

Unlike what many people think, glass is not expensive. Just do the math. How many times will you replace that plastic spray bottle? How many times can you reuse it if, for instance, you have to put a hot liquid inside it &#; like when you are washing it? These are just some of the things that may compromise the structural integrity of a plastic bottle.
On the other hand, glass bottles will hold down their own under these circumstances. And unless your palms are always soaked in cooking oil, do not be afraid of breaking your glass bottles. The rule of thumb is &#; (not slippery thumb, he-he) &#; handle with care, not fear.
Glass is more eco-friendly than plastic. Plastic waste is choking the world and leaving a carbon footprint that, if it remains unchecked, will choke our planet to death. When you are using a glass spray bottle, you are doing the planet a humongous favor.
One of our goals at Clean InVogue is to preserve good old Mother Earth and her oceans by reducing plastic waste. So, for us, plastic containers are completely a no-go zone, as we are looking at the bigger picture; environmental impact.

In the looks department, glass bottles will always kill their plastic competition on any given Sunday. Glass bottles look sleeker and more top shelf than plastic containers.
Look at it this way. In a pricey-looking glass flute, you have the cheapest champagne; while in a cheap plastic glass, you have Armand de Brignac. Let me guess; you will go for the drink in the glass flute. That\&#;s the allure of glass. Glass has that je ne sais quoi that plastic will never have.
If you are a freak for a bottle design that will be a conversation starter, I will have you know that, compared to plastic; glass bottles are the queens of design. Glass designers and blowers are coming up with a variety of glass bottles to suit every pocket and fancy.
At Clean InVogue, we have a wide variety of styles to choose from. Check them out here.
Some cleaning products, especially if they are made with toxic chemicals they are made with, may react adversely when stored inside plastic bottles. You have no such problem with glass bottles. That\&#;s why, science laboratories, use glass test tubes and beakers to carry out science experiments, even with hazardous elements.
Besides, there may be cleaning products made with chemicals whose efficacy may be affected if they are stored in a plastic glass. But our plant-based, all-natural cleaning products are powerful, effective, smell amazing, and do not come with such qualms.
Unlike plastic containers, glass spray bottles can be refilled multiple times without any wear and tear. A reusable bottle will save you some money.
Glass bottles are the quintessential Energizer bunny; they keep going and going. And then some.
Once again, do some math. Calculate how much you will save by reusing your glass bottle. Yeah, your offspring will save some money, too. Do you doubt me? Check out the next reason &#;
Some of us have sentimental crystal cutlery that our parents or grandparents bequeathed us. These are items we hold near and dear, as they represent life, love, and laughter. When we hold these items in our hands, we are, in essence, connecting to our past.

That, right there, is happily-ever-after in a bottle. Plus, your family will have saved a bank load of change.
There are tons of DIY things you can do to your glass container to make it look sexy, funky, or quirky &#; or anything you want it to be, depending on what you fancy. You don\&#;t have one creative bone? No problem. Hit YouTube, and you will be spoilt for choice on how to upcycle your glass bottle.

To find the best spray bottles for cleaning products, room sprays , and more, we took 14 options out for a spin in The Lab . After 8 hours of testing, we&#;ve narrowed it down to six best reusable spray bottles, in multiple categories. We think the best spray bottles are reusable, made from durable materials, and can accommodate different products and formulas.
&#;High-quality bottles are built to last,&#; says Marilee Nelson, co-founder of Branch Basics , a cleaning products company specializing in nontoxic refillable formulas. &#;Cheaper, lower-quality bottles can break easily or wear down over time, meaning you&#;ll have to replace them more frequently.&#;
When shopping for a spray bottle, quality is the most important thing to consider, as it can really make or break a bottle&#;s performance, and determine whether it&#;s actually sustainable.
Best Overall
Grove Co. Reusable Cleaning Spray Bottle
PHOTO: Grove Co.
What We Like
Wide mist
Even spray
High-quality construction
Dishwasher safe
Made from recycled materials
What We Don't Like
Doesn&#;t have a lock setting
Clear glass isn&#;t suitable for all cleaning formulas
The best spray bottle overall is, without a doubt, the Grove Co. Reusable Cleaning Bottle. It&#;s made from high-quality recycled glass and features a thick and durable plastic nozzle with multiple settings, and a protective silicone sleeve base that doubles as a label for the bottle&#;s contents.
The spray setting was sufficiently strong, and the mist was wide and even (which we think would be great for cleaning countertops or mirrors). This bottle sprayed just as well when angled sideways as it did when it was upright, which couldn&#;t be said for all of our picks.
While this pick is a bit of an upfront investment compared to some of our other favorites, its construction and versatility justify the price tag. You certainly get what you pay for because in addition to its overall high quality and effectiveness, there are small but helpful details like the nozzle labeled for the spray settings, and the dishwasher-safe material.
Since it is so well-made and a bit of a splurge for a spray bottle, we think this would make for a great gift idea, along with some cleaning formulas or ingredients to fill it.
Material: Recycled glass | Capacity: 16 ounces

Everspring Glass Reusable Cleaning Spray Bottle
PHOTO: Target
What We Like
Nozzle settings are clearly labeled
Effective spray, even when the cleaning solution is low
No leakage whatsoever
Budget-friendly
What We Don't Like
Can&#;t activate spray when the bottle is on its side
The Everspring Glass Reusable Cleaning Spray Bottle&#;which you can find at Target&#;is another excellent choice. This reusable glass spray bottle costs under $7 and holds 20 ounces of liquid, making it a great choice for all-purpose cleaners, disinfectant sprays, and room sprays.
While testing, we appreciated how the spray settings were indicated by small icons on the nozzle, and how well it sprayed, even when the cleaning solution was super low. The concentrated stream, in particular, felt very powerful and ideal for targeting grout lines. While it doesn&#;t work at all if it&#;s tilted on its side, it also doesn&#;t leak, which is a trade-off we&#;re willing to make since the last thing we want is for cleaning solution to spill.
Similar to our best overall pick, there&#;s a silicone layer at the base of the bottle for added protection and security from tipping over. It also has measurement etchings, so you can clearly identify the amount of liquid left or mix your own cleaning solutions directly in the bottle.
Material: Glass | Capacity: 20 ounces

Zep Professional Sprayer Bottle

What We Like
Longest spray length
Comfortable to spray in any direction
Doesn&#;t leak at all
What We Don't Like
If you want to learn more, please visit our website Plastic Spray Bottle Supplier.
Not suitable for combustibles, solvents, bleaches, or acids
Only one spray option (stream)
If you&#;re in need of a low-cost all-purpose spray bottle, we recommend the Zep Professional Sprayer Bottle. This heavy-duty plastic spray bottle can hold a whopping 32 ounces, Plus, out of all the bottles we tested, it has the longest spray length recorded, which was around 20.5 feet (so you could even hold your own using it in a water fight!).
It offers one spray setting (stream), so if you&#;re in need of a mister, you may want to skip this one. This one setting performs particularly well though, and we found it comfortable for spraying upright, sideways, and upside down.
The bottle is made from a thick and durable plastic that is compatible with a variety of cleaning formulas. However, it&#;s not suitable for combustibles, solvents, bleaches, or acids, so keep that in mind when shopping.
Nonetheless, thanks to its accessible price and the steady and strong spray, we think it&#;s a great choice if you want a fuss-free all-purpose spray bottle that can be used for a variety of household purposes, from cleaning the bathroom to wiping down the kitchen counters.

Sally's Organics Amber Glass Spray Bottles

$50
What We Like
Easy to fill at the sink
Long-lasting
Amber glass
Excellent cost per bottle
What We Don't Like
You have to commit to buying six bottles
For a set that can cover all of your cleaning bases, consider the Sally&#;s Organics Empty Amber Glass Spray Bottles, which come in a six-pack on Amazon. These reusable glass spray bottles can hold up to 16 ounces of cleaning solution and have an amber hue, so they&#;re compatible with essential oils and DIY cleaning products. They also look beautiful on a countertop, so they&#;re a great aesthetic choice, too.
Aside from their looks, the spray bottles are also super functional, and we love that you can easily fill them at the sink. They also have even distribution, and they don&#;t require a ton of water or liquid for an effective and even spray (even at 0.25 inches full, we could still get around 20 sprays out of it).
The spray is more mist-like than it is a direct, concentrated stream, so that&#;s something to keep in mind&#;but that could be a benefit if you&#;re planning to use these for cleaning and plant misting.

Best Plastic
Rayson Refillable Spray Bottle
PHOTO: Amazon
What We Like
Doesn&#;t leak
Can spray when tilted
Sprays evenly with all liquid levels
Additional cap included
What We Don&#;t Like
Nozzle isn&#;t labeled
The Rayson Empty Spray Bottle Refillable Container was a clear winner for the best plastic spray bottle. This one is more compact than most of the others we tried, so it doesn&#;t hold a lot of liquid, but its short, squat shape makes it a good space-saving option.
Plus, the budget-friendly price tag allows you to grab a couple of them for different cleaning solutions. This would be a great choice for DIY anti-odor sprays for coats and other garments, for kitchen surface spray, or even for linen spray as its smaller size can easily tuck into a linen closet.
From a quality standpoint, the spray mists evenly at all liquid levels (even when super low), and it doesn&#;t leak at all when tilted or lying on its side. You can also spray when the bottle is tipped sideways, though it isn&#;t quite as effective as when it&#;s completely upright.
Unlike some other options on our list, the nozzle isn&#;t labeled, but the twist design makes it easy to switch from different settings without negatively impacting the cleaning experience. It also comes with a regular cap, a unique feature among our picks, so you can swap it for the nozzle if you need to pack it or take it on the go.

Best for Plants
Driew Plant Mister Spray Bottle
PHOTO: Amazon
What We Like
Excellent mist range, even when low on liquid
Easy to control the mist levels
Smaller 10-ounce size makes it compact and lightweight
What We Don't Like
Not intended for cleaning products
Doesn&#;t mist as well when on its side
Spray bottles are a must for plant parents. For the best spray bottle for houseplants, we recommend the driew Plant Mister Spray Bottle. This 10-ounce bottle comes in three colors&#;including a gorgeous green hue&#;and is constructed from high-quality and durable Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).
It boasts excellent mist range, and it&#;s easy to control the mist levels. We found that the spray felt strongest when it was half-full or more, but we&#;d still say that it worked well when lower, too. The smaller 10-ounce size makes it more compact and lightweight so it&#;s easy to hold and you can hang it off the side of a planter with ease, too.
If you&#;re in need of a plant mister and a plant mister only, we think it&#;s a great choice&#;but if you need a bottle that can work for cleaning or other tasks too, it might be a bit too narrowly focused for you.
