Does anyone have a good source for bottles and containers for homemade cleaners? I am really enjoying making all my own cleaners from Clean House Clean Planet but the only bottles I have found are the really huge ones from Costco. I wanted to get the bottle kit that was mentioned in the book, but it looks like Karen Logan's Life on the Planet company no longer exists.

I get many different size spray bottles at the dollar store. They've always worked great for me!

check with cosmetics and hair styling and travel containers.. you can often get small spray bottles there.

I like the ones found in the gardening section - I can usually find some slightly smaller ones. They just seem to last longer than others I've found. (I have serious issues with spray bottles around here - a little one who LOVES to stick things inside them....)

I was just going to suggest that - they are my favorite spray bottles!

I had some industrial ones from Costco, but they were kind of big and bulky and one good drop the right(or wrong, I guess) way and the top came apart.
I bought Shaklee's Basic H cleaner and their spray bottles. Even if you don't buy their cleaner, the spray bottles were sold separately, and they spray well and are quite aesthetic as far as spray bottles go. They have different pictures on the front to differentiate the window, basic and degreaser levels. They are also a nice size, imo. Not so big as a regular Windex bottle and slim enough to fit in awkward places.Spray bottles

Thank you so much for all the ideas, Unfortunately our Dollar Store is useless. I will look in Target in the Cosmetics section though and the gardening section too. I have to say - those Shaklee bottles are so cute - I am sorely tempted.

Check Sally's Beauty Supply for the spray bottles hairstylists use. I use them for everything and they hold up well!

I use ones from the garden section of the hardware store. You can increase the air pressure in them to make a harder jet that is great for baked on or dried out messes.

Hmmm. Every time I've bought a spray bottle without a product already in it, the bottle has "died" very quickly...and I've bought them at different times, from different sources (Walmart, gardening supply, etc)
