How to Refill The Every Spray, Step by Step

The bottle on your counter is meant to stay. That is the whole idea behind The Every Spray: one amber glass bottle that lives out in the open, and a refill that keeps it going. This note walks through the refill routine from start to finish, so the first time feels as easy as the tenth.

What you need

  • Your Every Spray glass bottle, about a quarter full or empty
  • One Every Spray Refill, a 16 oz concentrate
  • Water from the tap
  • A small funnel, if you have one (helpful, not required)
  • A towel for the counter

That is the full list. No mixing kit, no tablets, no separate cleaner for every room.

How the math works

One 16 oz refill makes three full 16 oz bottles of The Every Spray. So a single refill replaces three new ready-to-use bottles you would otherwise buy, ship and eventually throw away. The Refill is $40, and the bottle you already own keeps doing its job.

If you are starting from nothing, The Bundle pairs one spray with one refill for $50.

Step 1: Let the bottle run low

Refill when the spray is about a quarter full, or empty. There is no rush. Topping up a nearly full bottle only makes the measuring harder.

Step 2: Rinse if it has been a while

If the bottle has been in use for a few months, give it a quick rinse with warm water before refilling. Unscrew the trigger, rinse the bottle, and run a little water through the sprayer by pumping it a few times into the sink. Let everything drain for a minute.

This is not a deep clean. It simply keeps the routine fresh.

Step 3: Read the refill label

Every Refill bottle carries its own directions, including how much concentrate to use per bottle and how much water to add. Please read the label before use and follow it exactly. The label is the source of truth for the mix, and it is the same formula you already know once it is in the spray bottle.

We keep the steps here general on purpose. The directions on the bottle are the ones to follow.

Step 4: Pour, then add water

Set the glass bottle on a towel. Using the funnel if you have one, pour in the amount of concentrate the label calls for. Then add water as directed, leaving a little room at the top so the trigger can seat without spilling.

Pour slowly. Glass is heavy and a steady hand is calmer than a fast one.

Step 5: Close, tip gently, and label your timing

Screw the trigger back on until it is snug. Tip the bottle gently a few times to bring everything together. There is no need to shake hard.

Some people like to write the refill date on a small piece of tape under the bottle. It is a quiet way to notice how long one bottle lasts in your home.

Step 6: Put the refill away

Cap the refill bottle tightly and store it upright in a cabinet, out of direct sun. You now have enough concentrate for two more bottles.

Where to use your refilled spray

The refilled spray is the same Every Spray: countertops, glass and mirrors, and bathroom surfaces. For anything delicate, such as natural stone, antique wood or specialty finishes, test on a small, hidden area first. Skip electronic screens and leather.

Making it a routine

Refilling works best when it becomes something you do without thinking. A few habits that help:

  • Keep one refill on the shelf. When you open the last one, that is your reminder to reorder.
  • Subscribe if you prefer not to think about it. Subscribe and save 10%, with deliveries every 4, 8 or 12 weeks. Pause, skip or cancel anytime.
  • Refill on the same day each time. Sunday evening, the first of the month, whatever fits your week.

Shipping is $10 flat in the US, and orders over $75 ship free. Items ship 1-2 days after the order.

Why glass, and why refill

We could have put the spray in plastic. It would have been cheaper and a little lighter to ship. We chose glass because the bottle is the part you keep. A glass bottle on the counter reads as something permanent, and that changes how you use it. The refill is what makes that permanence practical: you buy the cleaner again, not the bottle.

It is a small shift. One bottle, one refill, and a cabinet with a little more room in it.

Small things that go wrong, and how to fix them

The trigger sputters after refilling. It usually needs a few pumps to pull the new mix up the tube. Pump into the sink until the spray runs even.

A little spilled on the counter. Wipe it up with your towel. It is the same cleaner you use on that counter anyway.

You are not sure how much is left in the refill bottle. Hold it up to the light. Each bottle's worth is one third of the refill, so after two refills you are on your last one, and it is a good time to reorder.

The bottle feels cloudy inside. Give it the warm-water rinse from Step 2, let it drain, and refill as usual.
