Seem solid after a few uses
I've been through quite a few spray bottles over the years. I remember way back in like 1995, I bought a four-pack of spray bottles at Target, and they lasted like 15 years. Seems as if every spray bottle I've tried since then has been complete crap. One out of four don't work out of the box, and the other three fail within a year. I decided to purchase these because the majority of the reviews complain about them not being opaque. That's a legitimate complaint for folks who need opaque bottles, but it wasn't a concern for me. To be clear, these bottles are almost opaque. "Translucent" might be the best word to describe them. You can see through them just enough to be able to tell how much liquid is still in the bottle. That's my preference, but I think folks who are looking for a completely opaque bottle should know this going in. The reason I need a lot of spray bottles is because I am not a fan of the vast majority of commercial cleaners. I typically use bleach, citric acid, baking soda, lye, and rubbing alcohol/Everclear. I find these five substances can replace the vast majority of the commercial cleaning supplies, but you need a spray bottle to, say, dilute the bleach with water. One really important safety lesson when it comes to using chemicals. Don't ever mix them (especially bleach) with anything except water. I like to have solid white or clear spray bottles because I can label them with a permanent sharpie to make sure that I don't accidentally mix something like Atrazine with bleach. I don't like using Atrazine in the first place. The last thing I want to do is create a ecological catastrophe for my neighborhood.
