10 Best Spray Bottles 2024 in the US

Spray bottles are used extensively in home cleaning products. But spray bottles also are useful in dispensing perfumes, essential oils, and aromatherapy. If you go to a barber shop or beauty parlor, there will be an entire array of spray bottles. Also, if you are inclined to gardening, there are homemade, environmentally-friendly insecticides and insect repellents that you can spray on your houseplants or garden. But you have to know what type of spray bottles are best for your purposes—considering the quantity and quality of the spray, and the type of bottle. Here is a guide to some of the best spray bottles on the market.

• Pump Sprayer: In this version, you press the pump down in order to release the spray through the nozzle. It is used typically for dispensing small amounts, like perfume or hair spray.

• Trigger Sprayer: These are familiar from most of your home cleaning products, like glass cleaner or oven cleaner. The spray is released from a nozzle by pressing on a trigger. Many trigger sprayer nozzles are equipped with a spray, stream, or “off” position.

• Atomizer: Here, a rubber balloon is squeezed by hand, releasing gas that draws liquid from inside a bottle. That liquid is broken up into small droplets. This method is used for perfumes, as well as in administering medicine in spray form, where the medicine can reach the back of the throat. 

Based on all the consumers' reviews we've scanned, these are the top things they mentioned about their new stuff:

• Replacement triggers: What can you do if the trigger mechanism on your spray bottle breaks, or gets clogged? Many companies who sell spray bottles also sell replacement triggers. For example, Everything4Oils also sells replacement triggers whose diameter and threading match their bottles: 28 mm width, with a 28-400 thread pattern.

• Durable glass: The NatureO spray bottles were very popular for being so sturdy and durable. On the other hand, the My Oil Gear bottles tended to be fragile—many customers complained that bottles arrived broken.

• Uniquely-shaped bottles: Soft 'N Style makes an ergonomic mini-curve spray bottle, that is made to fit the person's hand. It's nozzle can also squirt water to a surprising distance of 10 feet.

• Natural insect repellent: One customer said that they make a natural insect repellent from a combination of witch hazel, almond oil, and a fragrant essential oil. However, some spray nozzles might get clogged if you use them for spraying oil. You might have to use a spray nozzle that shoots a stream instead of a mist.

• Comes with  labels: Once you put a liquid in a spray bottle,  you might not remember what it is. NatureO provides a set of stylish labels for their bottles, so that you can easily write down what's inside.

• Quantity contained in the bottle: Clearly the amount of liquid in the bottle for perfume and aromatherapy will be much smaller than what you use for cleaning fluid. Goja makes small 20 ml bottles that spray a fine mist of lens cleaning fluid. That's convenient when traveling, when you need to clean your camera's lenses. For hair and beauty product, Soft 'n Style makes 1.7, 3.4, 6, 10, 13, 15 and 16 ounce bottles.

• Bottle material: The spray bottle itself can be made from plastic, aluminum, or glass. Acidic mixtures will tend to dissolve plastics, so glass is the best option. NatureO makes glass bottles from clear glass, cobalt-blue, and amber color. The cobalt blue and amber colors are to protect chemicals from breaking down from exposure to sunlight. My Oil Gear makes amber-color glass bottles, with the intent that essential oils will not harm or be harmed by the glass, while the amber color protects the oil from light exposure.

• Type of spray: Some bottles are fashioned to spray a fine mist, while others are made a spray or stream. Perfumes and essential oils must be sprayed in a mist, while salon products can be sprayed in a stream.
