How to Refill

1. Remove the sprayer from the empty bottle by turning it counterclockwise to release.

2. Remove the disposable cap from the refill bottle and replace it with the sprayer. Turn the sprayer clockwise to secure.

3. Before use, it’s important to confirm that the dip tube inside the bottle is facing the same direction as the sprayer.

Once you’ve ensured that the sprayer and tube are facing the same way, you’re good to go!
