I first was introduced to this nifty sprayer a few years ago by my hair stylist. One pump at any angle produces an extended burst of fine mist without dribbles or blobs. The trigger is held down for a long burst or pumped for a short, small spray.
One day while ironing, it dawned on me I could use one of these sprayers at my ironing board. I have a beloved Reliable iron which produces lovely amounts of steam at all temps, but rarely used the sprayer button as I find it a bit cumbersome and unlike the steam function, it does leave spit marks like regular sprayers.
I purchased a Flairosol sprayer from my stylist, who says he also sells these to people for plant sprayers, and now do not want to be without it. It’s simply wonderful to use. The mist is so fine, your fabric is quickly dried with the iron.
I thought I’d might purchase another for house cleaning with vinegar and water. I think it’s catching on as I’ve seen it now available in purchased home cleaning products.
I see they available on Amazon too at a slightly better price that what I payed.
This overly dramatic YouTube commercial suggests pumping the trigger, but really one press gives a nice long spray once filled and primed.
I thought it worth mentioning if people might be looking for better options than their on-board iron spray or regular spray bottle.

Two completely diverse uses came to mind when I looked at this item. First, that it might be a great option to replace the standard trigger spray bottle of Best Press, since I tend to get splotches of liquid when using it. Second, would it work for cooking oil? I've tried those Misto pump and spray bottles but they never seem to work well for very long. I might just order two of these and experiment.

I’m not sure it would work with cooking oil, I’ve considered it myself, but it seems like it’s meant for more liquid-y stuff. Inside the bottle is a sturdy plastic bag bladder which keeps air out of the system. The mist is quite fine, so I think oils might not work, but I don’t know for sure. I like the refillable oil pump sprayers for cooking, but as you probably know, they only last so long before they get irrecoverably clogged. Any oil sprayer I’ve had works on built up pressure, a bit different than the pump vacuum system of the ones (I think)

I meant also to say I think a pressing liquid might work as long as there’s no sediment in the solution.

Well I never heard of it, but even Walmart sells it, it seems. I definitely do want one, and there are certainly a lot of color options. The website claims all kind of uses including plant care. You should write a product review of this, under Notions, then the subcategory of Ironing . Thanks for letting us know.

I always look at reviews on amazon in the lowest (1 star) category...mildew smell to spray!
Let me know if someone figures out a way to get rid of it...maybe vinegar?

You can lead people to the truth, but can't make them think.

After reading the 1 star reviews on Amazon from this year, I've put this on my want list instead of buying. It looks as if the manufacturer currently has a quality control problem.

I’ve used mine for almost a year now, without any odour. I’ve used both tap water and distilled water. I do not empty it out ever. Maybe it depends on the quality of local water? I’ve never heard of this problem at my hair salon either.

Lol, Vivian, that’s exactly what I thought right after posting here...should have posted this under notion reviews, I’ll do that too, thx!

I’ve seen it on the Amazon Canada site. I didn’t look at reviews, but I’d likely buy one locally from my hair salon as that’s where I bought the first one. I know they carry two sizes and sell quite a few; I had to have them call me when the larger one was back in stock as it’s the most popular size.. I’ll ask about whether or not they’ve heard of any problems next time I’m in.
