How would you mix this with water for use in a (glass) spray bottle? I heard you cant use water and EO, it will just stick to the sides of the bottle. Is that true?

i enjoy using germ fighter synergy neat ---- and also i add it to some apricot kernel carrier oil and put it on my skin ---for cold sores, using a cotton swab and apply some of the synergy to the sores that way directly, i use also lavender essential oil and tea tree essential oil in the same ways-- directly and in apricot oil ----i have not mixed it with water, but it is a way to try it, make up a small amount with water in a mister and see if it works. thieves also makes it in a household spray.

Essential Oils should be mixed in carrier oils, but if you want to mix them with water or a cream, lotion,etc.,you need to make an emulsion. I do it with glycerine (an emulsifier) for creams or lotions or using "Dawn"(liquid dish washer detergent with biosurfactants,another emulsifier). Mix the drops of E.O. with the "Dawn",then add to the water.

You can try mixing in an oil first like Olive oil or coconut oil and then add your water and shake good. I use Vinegar, Castile soap and a splash of tea-tree oil as a cleaner in a spray bottle so I don't see why it would not work.

Better to use a carrier oil. Mineral oil, if it's for your skin you can mix with coconut oil or baby oil. I've also mixed it with vasMix with a light oil, for skin I recommend petroleum jelly or baby oil. Coconut oil works great as well. I sometimes add a drop to a water bottle to clear up a cold.

It doesn't "just stick". Some dissolves, some sticks. The price of the piper so to speak. You can dissolve it in vodka as well, depends on your application. Sometimes the initial scent of alcohol just isn't appropriate. This item is priced at a point you can lose some to"stickage" and remember you aren't using much.

Yes, it is my understanding that the EOs and regular water do not mix. I have not tried using it as a spray but I have read that you can add it to distilled water or vodka. I found this site to be very helpful. http://www.sustainablebabysteps.com/how-to-use-essential-oils.html

Directions say use only with water but I don't see any reason why it won't work in juice. Haven't tried it yet myself but at most you just have to wash the bottle a bit better between times.

Two others answered this, but I'll add to it. Do not dilute. I poured some in a spray bottle (try $ stores or Walmart for one).Sprayed it on cloth and then washed/wipes windows, buffing with the cloth when as I cleaned it. (Initially, I sprayed it on plexi directly & used clean cloth at that point. Seemed to work fine, but then read to spray on cloth instead. I think one uses less by spraying on cloth first, but both ways worked. In other words, I use the stuff like Windex in a spray bottle. (I used regular clean cloth--a kitchen dish towel--and not microfiber. Worked fine).

Will not work with a pour bottle. You might trying buying an inexpensive spray top for your bottle, or pouring some into an inexpensive spray bottle you can buy for $1 at a local five and dime type store or on Amazon.

I mix it according to the directions and put it in a pump up sprayer. If you are in the sun you need to work fast or it will dry before you get it rinsed. I was using it on semi trailers and used it too quickly so will probably try to thin it a little farther next time so a bottle will go farther

Use water to dilute it to the specific ratio. There are detailed instructions on how to use and for mixing attached on the bottle.

Just add it in powder form and it'll mix with the liquid in there already or mix it with water first and then dump it in!

You mix Precor with cold water according to specifications on the bottle. It is the best to use bottle with spray. Precor is odorless and very effective.

i would research online. I think you can add it to water and use it in a spray bottle, but I don't know for sure and you'd want to research the ratios!

YEP! I've been doing it for a week now. Just don't do citrus.. I use only Young Living (I won't get into an argument about purity here, but I am quite certain of the purity of my oils) - I filled the bottle with water, then added 10 drops of EO, then shake it before each time that you fill the atomizer. Works WONDERFULLY. I was the one walking around Convention this week, using it - I bet I sold 100 of them. :)

I would mix it with water as it does not dissolve very well when just thrown in the pool, I will not but this brand again as it does not dissolve well then it sits on the bottom of the pool.

I use a hose sprayer. I follow the instructions on the label mixing the concentrate with the specified amount of water. I find the Bonode product effective and have not encountered any problems. Just thoroughly mix the two ingredients.

I have used on glass and most other products....I have no problem with it. You may be using to much putty. minimal amount,small pea size , placed at 12 3, 6, and 9, is usually how I place small pea size. Hold object gently and push down.... If glass is vase full of water ... I have found it will not &lt; work. Hope this helps!

What I do is, use in 2 gallon sprayer, works great. Just mix for size of spray unit using. I always like to mix a little strong.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.

Yeah the powder is so fine it should work. I've only used it in my tank sprayer...it mixes super quick with water so it shouldn't be a problem.

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.
