How to Repair a Jammed Nozzle on a Perfume Bottle

Introduction

While applying perfume, one may press down too hard causing the nozzle or sprayer to be jammed. This repair project involves a step-by-step procedure guide on how to fix a jammed nozzle on a perfume bottle. This repair requires you take extra safety precautions when removing the nozzle because the bottle is made of glass which can break easily if not gently handled.

    • Insert a sewing needle into the opening to adjust the metal ball that is stuck in the spring.

    • The reason why the nozzle of the perfume bottom is jammed is because the metal ball is stuck in the spring. This prevents the pump from retracting. The metal ball is supposed to be directly at the bottom of the spring which allows the pump to retract and the product to protrude out of the bottle when you press down on the nozzle.

This guide is stupid. BEFORE DOING THIS expose the nozzle and insert a sewing needle directly without removing the entire gasket. Don't cause unnecessary damage as most bottles have crimpted gaskets and are irremovable.
