There is a part on the instructions that I am not understanding: squeeze the bottle. Why do you do this? Don't you use the pump top &amp; pump it in hand?

I think you squeeze the bottle so that you can easily apply it directly to your hair without putting it in your hand. That's what I do & it works well.

Because I was in a hurry to use it, I just did it by mouth and quickly capped it so I didn't have this problem. Maybe it is more difficult if you inflate it with a needle?! I'm over 70 so it was a little difficult for me to get on initially but once I found out how it works for me I no longer have that problem.

It's easy. You just hold the concave base at the bottom with one hand, and pump the larger section up and down with the other. There is a little hook/lock area for sealing the bottle when you're done, so if you're having trouble, push down a bit and turn it counter-clockwise. One other thing: every few months, the pump mechanism starts to get dry and hard to move. Just spray with a bit of W-40, and you're good to go.

You will have to twist the stopper. This will release/extend the stopper. Then cover bottle and pump until tight,.

I use the bottle because it is easier for me to handle. I suffer from neurophysiology & have difficulty holding a jar & turning the cap. The bottle has a "snap top" opening that you just have to push one side of the top and it opens so you can squeeze the bottle to dispense.

First shake the bottle vigorously for about a minute. Then squeeze hard on the bottom part of the bottle. If you are lucky the bottom part of the bottle will fill the reservoir on the top and then you can pour from the top reservoir into your hand or hose sprayer. If squeezing the bottom does not fill the top, then the valve between the bottom and the top is probably clogged and you can either return it to the store or else take a small drill and drill a small, maybe 1/8 "hole between the top and the bottom.

I believe it's there to control the flow of the product so that it only comes out when you squeeze the bottle and doesn't just flow out when you turn the bottle upside down. I don't find it very effective.

I just turn it upside down. Use it that way. I also have 2 bottles. One I use as just a spray, no scrub. Then I remove the spray and put the cap which comes on it back on. Then I use the scrub bottle but upside down. It shouldn't leak.maybe your bottle is stripped.

Ruffy, Turn the top part of the spout lightly while holding the neck of the bottle and you should be able to release the pump part. Customer Care My Fragrance Store

The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M. Brendlinger's answers are correct. I was very confused about how much water to put in. I fill it to the top, then put the cylinder in and screw on the metal top. I'm still using cold water, straight from the refrigerator, into the chilled container and shaking it 25-30 times after releasing the C02 filter. Despite there being poor and lacking instructions I still think this is a great product and environmentally one of the most sound ways to enjoy fizzy water. I even transfer the fizzy water to another bottle with a cork stopper and then I always have 2 bottles of fizzy water in the frig ready to go. The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M.

I simply shake the bottle vigorously , take off the lid . Poor some filling the lid . Then put it in my hand and apply liberally .

this is best used as a preventative, it is not a cure. Pull the valve core stem (they give you a tool, not a great tool, but it is a tool). Put in the correct amount (according to the instructions) by placing the vinyl tube over the tip of the bottle on one end and place the other end of the vinyl tube over the valve, then squeeze the bottle to force in the correct amount. If you are putting in a lot, you may have to pull off the tube to vent pressure, then start again. EASY. Using the gallon jug is even easier, one pump=one ounce and the pump forces it in for you.

I used it once a day and only half of the bottle. At the bottom of each bottle, there's a soft rubber thing that if you pressed it then it will release the solution out. It's easier to press that. Hope this answer your question

Read the instructions again. I don't think you opened the bottle correctly.

I just tried it. It is very easy if I hold the bottle between my legs and remove the cap. With my thumb and index finger I can remove the top if the bottle is in a cup holder.

I had to have someone show me in the beginning too. The top actually comes out and you screw the applicator on. In order to get the top off I have to wiggle it back and forth so the top will separate from the bottle. Then you simply keep turning it until it comes off. It is not screwed in, it just fits really tight. Once you do it the first time you will never have trouble again.
