Why can’t I empty all the product in my aerosol can?

In some cases, a small amount of product may remain in an aerosol can if it cannot be fully drawn up through the dip tube during use. This can happen across the aerosol industry and is usually related to can position while spraying.

If you are having difficulty dispensing the remaining product, try the following:

  • Shake the can well before and during use.

  • Hold the can upright and spray vertically where possible.

  • Rotate the can slowly in ¼ turns while spraying to help reposition the dip tube within the liquid and improve flow.

  • Ensure the spray nozzle is aligned correctly (e.g. with any indicator mark on the can).

If the product still does not dispense as expected, please contact our Customer Services team for further assistance.

Always follow the instructions on the product label during use
