Why Glass Spray Bottles are Best
Unlike plastic, glass will not leech chemicals into your precious formulations. Colored glass helps to block out light, which can reduce the effectiveness of various formulas. If you enjoy mixing your own cleaning or pest control sprays, it's wise to obtain bottles in a variety of colors so that you don't pick up the wrong spray bottle by mistake. For example, you might put tea tree and peppermint formulas into green bottles while saving brown bottles for cleaning sprays.
