Why is there black gunk at the bottom of the bottle?

The black, hard thing at the bottom is the gardenia flower. It turns black in hard with whatever process they use.

The black gunk is residue from the natural flowers that are soaked in the oil to give it its scent.

Mine has a black lid and the bottle has like a 2"area of little raised squares diamond pattern look ,that may aid in gripping the bottle. Then the typical O,W, V markings for the ingredients. The bottom of the bottle has the " Good Seasons" emblem etched in. I might add that this kit comes with two bottles. Great deal for your money!

its normal for it to have a thin layer of water on the bottom when its done...if it has more than that then empty and clean the metal part on the bottom with a qtip...rubbing alcohol works well... barely dip the qtip in the alcohol and wipe the metal part with it...hope this helps...

I also think you should contact the seller. I've never had that problem. Either it got really hot in transit or it's from a old batch. Good luck!

All bottles are black. It keeps the light from getting to the polish. Bubble bath is one of my favorites.

No, my bottle is totally clear. I would contact the company for a new bottle.

I don't know. All I can say is, check it out. If it tastes rotten, smells rotten, or has anything growing inside, then empty it out, rinse it out, and recycle the bottle and cap.

I only ever see black gunk in the 4 arc-like holes which I use a toothpick to dig it out easily. You take off the rubber mouthpiece, then you can see the 4 holes that the mold forms in.

I use this bottle daily. I bought a bottle brush and clean it regularly with dish soap and water. Also, the rubber sleeve will slide off/on with soapy water. If there's a smell, it may be coming from the sleeve. Soak the cap in warm, soapy water and rinse with cold. If it continues to have a smell, contact the manufacturer.

This is the date that the active ingredients may tend to dissipate in some ways. Its found usually on the back of the bottle down almost to the bottom.

I don't have tbat problem with mine, doesn't matter how much liquid it works.The only complaint I have is the strong smell of rubber. Sorry, get in touch with the company, see if they can help....

The condensation comes from temperature cycling inside and outside the jar. If the water in the jar reaches a higher temperature than the outside of the jar, then vapor in the bottle will become saturated relative to the inner surface temperature and you'll get condensation. This can happen when the bottle temperature lags behind in a thermal cycle (e.g. a car cooling in the evening) or if the jar is exposed to a heat source like sunlight.

Hi Bridget We ran out of white bottles so we had to use black bottles for some batches.Besides the color of the bottle, the rest is exactly the same.

They are dark colored. I'm not sure why. There is a phone number on the bottle, so maybe you can call them for the information.

I've had 2 batches that had the terrible smell. The first I poured out thinking it had gone bad. Then I read somewhere that sometimes racking it repeatedly and getting more oxygen into it makes the smell go away. I tried that the second time it happened to me and the smell disappeared. Not sure what will happen now that it's bottled.
