I just read a review that said if you leave it in a plastic bottle it will eat through the bottle? true/false

I have not had that happen. I have used it in my carpet shampooer, and in squeeze bottles (an old dish detergent bottle) and in spray bottles. ALWAYS dilute it before putting it in any container! For the carpet cleaning machine, I have the type that has a separate clean water tank and a separate detergent tank, and the machine mixes it together, but when using this solution I dilute it first and fill both tanks with the DILUTED mixture. For spraying, I find that spray bottles are a pain to deal with, so I use an old Dawn dishwashing liquid squeeze bottle and dilute it with tap water. It's easier to squeeze out the amount I need, especially when mopping the floor. I wrap a microfiber cloth around the Swiffer sweeper and use this cleaner and my floors are squeaky clean!

False. It comes in a plastic bottle and no problems so far..... I have had it over 1 year nowI mix the concentrate as directed and leave this in a plastic bottle. No problems

I agree with everyone below. Two years later and the bottle it came in is fine. For the diluted mix, I reused a Method spray bottle, and that's still fine also.

FALSE! It comes in a plastic bottle. I have diluted it and put the diluted solution in a plastic spray bottle without any problems. However, it's full strength in the "plastic bottle" it comes in so I don't know why anyone would say it would eat through the bottle.

If it's syrup, water and CO2, you're fine. Look at the ingredients for some possible ingredients that may react with the plastic. There's so much stuff in the liquid we are unfamiliar with.

There is nothing wrong with the product. I believe those reviews are over a year old. There was a batch made over a year ago and the heat induction seal that goes under the lid was applied with a little extra heat upon packaging. When the bottle was opened they thought it was something with the plastic, but it wasn't. We use FDA approved food grade plastics. There was nothing wrong with the plastic or the product. This was a very isolated incident and after the seal was removed and the lid left off for a few minutes the odor they were getting was gone. This is all packaged in a cGMP facility and was investigated and cleared. Hope this helps answer your concerns.

what kind of plastic? I have used this product as a solvent for removing the leftover sticky stuff from price tags on a lot of materials and having had a few spills over the years when transferring to my blotter bottle - (not like an acid- more petroleum -gasoline style) I would guess that if it is a sturdy plastic it might be fine- if it were me I would try it in a spot I could live with being a bit damaged and see- good luck

Bottle is plastic but from what I have read a special plastic. All I know is it really works! I have my whole office taking it-wr are a Doctors office. Works for us! My family uses it for many things health wise and it is good stuff.

I thought it was in a glass bottle but l found out it's in a plastic bottle. So, transferred it to a glass bottle at home

Geez, guys. Just tell him it's a glass bottle. ALL of Carlson's liquid fish oils are in glass bottles for freshness and so any plastic taste or chems don't leach into the oil. Nordic Naturals puts theirs in dark glass as well. Hope that helps!

The clear plastic insert attached to the bottle is supposed to fit inside the bottle lid. I have two bottles and when lid is screwed on there is no leakage on either one. I wonder if there is a defect with the clear plastic insert or the lid. You might check to see if the clear plastic is inserted rightly into the bottle. I have tested mine a few times after reading this, and mine are both sealed tight when lid is screwed on. You might contact seller. I am very pleased with my product.

Hi. I don't have problem with storing oil eater inside the bottle sitting in the garage. Keep it away from children & elderly touching chemical. Storing has not problem so far. But becareful if mix with hot water when use. It will be too strong for some plastic. Never use on stainless steel!

Yes, the liquid does come into contact with plastic. Yes, there is a plastic dropper inside. It is a vegan company, so I would think the plastic is BPA-free and all of that stuff. I'm confident they make sure the bottle is what it should be, but I am not certain.

I put it in wet dog food. It started off like it was going to work, but now isn't helping at all. Does this sometimes happen? I'm not sure I want to continue with it after this bottle is gone if it is not working.

I just looked at my cap and the only thing it says on it is "GuyotDesigns". You will have to ask them directly. As already noted by Stewart E. most of the time the water in your bottle will not be in contact with the cap, so it would be nothing like having the water in direct contact and possibly leaching BPA's constantly, so it might not be a concern for you.

I did. I didn't see any reason not to, I don't recall it saying not to anywhere on the bottle. I think it's designed for indoor use, honestly.

No it cannot, unless you want to pry it open, or razor off the top portion of the plastic bottle and put it in something else. Its alot of money for so little. let us know if diluting it works. I'm running low and have been watching the price on amazon and online elseware for the lowest cost the last time I bought it on amazon it was 46.33 for 3 bottles, it was a long time ago though almost 2 years. I only use it when one of the cats does something they shouldnt so it did last long, but just cant use it often or you'll be buying alot of it.

when you first get it just make sure to rinse it out. that would be the only time you will get that plastic taste to it. but after you rinse it out i havent gotten any plastic taste. sorry for the delay

I can't say that I've ever had that problem! ;) But if I did, I would probably pour it back into the bottle that it came in. Or just burn it up! It isn't like that would take long.

If the plastic straw were to be removed, water would spill out. What keeps the water from spilling is that when the lid is shut it pinches the straw closed. The straw fits down inside, then spreads out like a gasket as it approaches the opening, then gets skinny straw-like on the other side and that is where you sip from. I am opposed to having my drinks or food in plastic. However, I think that my sister researched this and found out that it isn't the bad kind of plastic for food. Also, I keep only ice cold drinks in it. I think that the gases that leach into food from plastic do that under heat. I bought this thermos because it wasn't aluminum. I will not drink or eat from aluminum--not even aluminum foil or pots and pans. I LOVE my thermoses and bought two for my precious grandson. If I thought that they were unhealthy because of the plastic, I wouldn't have gotten them for him. I will not let him have (not do I have) plastic water bottles. Good luck in your search.
