Who are you guys using these days for the small private label spotter bottles to leave with customers? It's only been about 6 years since I've ordered them.

Home Pro comes in 8 ounce, 12 ounce, 16 ounce sizes and several label options. Add your own text and logo.
Island Boy will disagree but this is obviously the best option.

A special spotter for wool carpet and rugs is also available with the custom label.

I have mine mixed and bottled to avoid the liability. My recipe. 2.25 per 16 oz bottle. Inc. shipping. I am locally famous for it. It works great.

Vacaway right now.
Next time we'll buy better labels though.

I give mine free and I'd prefer:
Needless to say I have my own label and product.
- 32 oz bottle (A lot more impressive. And yes call me what you will, but if I'm giving a gift, I damn well want them to be impressed!)
- Have a spray head not a pour on nozzle. (Because pour on nozzles do what they're supposed to do- POUR on. Moving the stain into the pad, creating more issues than it solves.)
- Not have anywhere in their instructions say something like" Pour on liberally" , they all seem to suggest that, which creates a problem as described above. Somehow all these die hard conservatives get in touch with their inner liberal, when it comes to 'pouring on' and selling more of their products.
- The same product that will also be safe for wool is a bonus. It ain't so difficult to make folks.
Needless to say I have my own label and product.
Sorry "Ofer""

you really want the customer to remember you forget the fooking spotters and shit
When I leave the bill I give a single wrapped Mrs Fields cookie with the customer
they are going to remember you more for that than a stupid bottle of spotter
Holiday time coming up I leave custom chocolates from https://www.chocolatenecessities.com/

I always bought them ready to go, but I let Cynthia talk me into buying them un filled or labeled this last time.

No idea why they send two gallons of juice either when one gallon is too much.
What did you pay to have them assembled and delivered last time?

One gallon is not enough. You didn't read the directions, I see.
I don't remember off hand. I'd have to look it up.

You must listen to Cobb's directions too.
If 4 to 8 ounces per gallon works fine for VLM work, why would I use 7 to 1 fot a spotter?

Tell Steve to:
And he'll have a winner. And it will be worth paying some extra.
- Remove the "Apply Liberally" instruction (the last thing you want your clients to do.)
- Increase size of bottle. I give it free and I ain't giving a measly 8 or 16 oz bottles. Not very impressive.
- Change spout to spray head.
- Make it good for both wool and synthetic.
And he'll have a winner. And it will be worth paying some extra.
