Prima products in clear bottles

I have some old Griots bottles that I was going to use to put Hydro and Slick into (I like the sprayer). Since original products came in tinted bottles, is there any concern about pouring the products into clear bottles? Will sunlight effect them?

yah, Hydro in a clear bottle turned from a peachy fresh orangish nice
color to a disposer discharge mustard color after about 2 weeks under
flouresent lighting...

jk jk

i was thinking the same thing... about removing those Griot's decals and
using old bottles to spray Hydro. but it would be too confusing
to have 2 different products in same packaging... so going to keep the
prima bottles for now.

I had a friend who would take all of his products and put them in ketchub and mustard squirty things (clear) becuase he liked the way they dispearsed the product on his pads/etc. Any spray products into clear spray bottles that he felt misted better. He never labled them, not a single one, but knew exactly what was in them. He told me that you can't use the 99 cent walmart bottles because some of the chemicals in these products would eat them up. I can't remember where he got his but they were like $3 a bottle.

I want to do that because I hate the squirt caps on most of my products, but I like the bold colored labels alot when lined up in the cabinet.

That said, I honestly can't imagine it hurting the products, more than the product eating the container away. Hydro and slick won't do that, though, so go for it!
