Can anybody recommend a sprayer for Chemspecs product, P.O.G.? (Paint, oil and grease remover)
This is basically a solvent type solution which I find excellent for removing emulstion paint and greasy spots but it comes in a normal bottle, which does not spray - Obviously this is for a reason as I don't think it's meant to be sprayed due to the nature of the beast.
However, it's much more convenient to pop it into a spray bottle and spot stains on the move. The trouble is, I can't seem to find a solvent proof bottle that doesn't stop working after having the P.O.G. in it for a week or so.
Any suggestions?

Fraser,
Have you tried the Extracta Multi Solvent Spray as an alternative, we use this as welll as POG and find a use for both.

The odour fresh is also a very good product

Use a terry towel and blot

Can't remember if Chemspec's P.O.G. has a pouring spout, so in it's absence, use a pipette or eye dropper. Much better control of application. Otherwise, secondary application as Mark advised.
Most P.O.G.s are non-volatile and need correct removal treatment and rinsing to avoid rapid resoiling and other problems. To use a sprayer could be like using a scatter gun. Problems waiting to happen.
Spray application could also create massive H&S issues with atomised and airborne solvent.
The only solvents I am aware of that are suitable for spray application are most of the alcohol based products.
Safe and happy cleaning :)
