Why Labelling Your Spray Bottles Isn’t Optional — It’s Essential

September 5, 2025

This is a subtitle for your new post

When the day’s busy and you’re in cleaning mode, it’s tempting to grab a spray bottle and get going. But if that bottle isn’t labelled, you’re taking a big risk — for safety, surfaces, and efficiency.


Here’s why every workplace, facility, and professional cleaner should make labelling non-negotiable:

1. Safety Comes First

Many cleaning products contain strong chemicals. Mix the wrong ones — like bleach and ammonia — and you could release toxic fumes. An unlabelled bottle is a guessing game that simply isn’t worth the risk.

2. Protect Your Surfaces

The wrong cleaner on the wrong surface can do lasting damage. For example, acidic solutions on stone or stainless steel can cause staining or corrosion. A label ensures the right product is used, every time.

3. Save Time & Cut Waste

No more sniff tests or “mystery sprays.” Clear labels mean staff can grab exactly what they need straight away — avoiding wasted product and keeping the workflow smooth.

4. Consistency Across Teams

In workplaces and shared spaces, multiple people may be handling the same products. Labelling ensures everyone’s on the same page and reduces the risk of mistakes.

5. Refill With Confidence

Diluting concentrates? Refilling bulk supplies? A proper label with product name, dilution ratios, and date filled helps keep things accurate and compliant.


📝 Quick Labelling Tips

  • Use waterproof labels or masking tape with a permanent marker.
  • Write the product name, dilution ratio, and fill date.
  • Colour-code bottles for fast recognition (e.g. blue for glass cleaner, green for general purpose).
  • For a professional edge, use a label maker — especially for commercial kits.
