So, if you're unsure how to fully use your aerosol cans, keep scrolling for our tips and tricks on how to use an aerosol spray can. Eliminating this risk is about how you safely and sufficiently use your aerosol can throughout the life of the can.
Before Use:
Most people do undervalue the need to vigorously shake before use sometimes. Particularly in case the product is thicker or has been in a colder temperature. Ignoring shaking your cans will cause the contents to separate and result in a blocked aerosol can. That could cause the straw to get clogged or the propellant to run out before the rest of your material. This makes it a lot easier to use, whether you're applying spray paint or air freshener spray.
Also, we recommend you use a sharp object to clear the nozzle, preventing blockage or the product drying and reducing the efficiency of the aerosol can. It's always worth keeping spare nozzles around just in case you do experience a blockage in the valve and actuator area.
----Take off the nozzle - there may be a build-up of matter here, so remove this with a sharp object like a pin, or it is sometimes worth washing nozzles in water to get rid of the most obvious build-up
----Continue to shake in between clearing nozzles and straws, this helps with mixing.
