-Each spray has a dust cap which protects the nozzle and keeps it clean.
-Remember to take this off before using the spray.
-A new spray (or one that has not been used for a few days), may not work first time. You need to ‘prime’ the spray by pumping the spray a few times until a fine mist is produced.
1. Hold the bottle as shown and make sure it is pointed away from you.
2. Put your forefinger and middle finger on the collar either side of the nozzle and put your thumb underneath the bottle.
3. Keep your thumb still and press down with your fingers to pump the spray.
- If the spray does not work and you think it may be blocked, you will need to clean it. Please see the section below, Cleaning your spray.
- Never try to unblock or enlarge the tiny spray hole with a pin or other sharp object. This will damage the way the spray works.
-Using your spray
1. Shake the bottle and take off the dust cap.
2. Blow your nose gently.
3. Close one nostril with your finger as shown and put the nozzle in the other nostril. Tilt your head forward slightly and keep the bottle upright. Hold the bottle as shown.
4. Start to breathe in slowly through your nose. While you are breathing in press down firmly on the collar with your fingers. A spray of fine mist will go into your nostril.
5. Breathe out through your mouth.
6. Repeat step 4 to use a second spray in the same nostril.
7. Remove the nozzle from this nostril and breathe out through your mouth.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for your other nostril.
9. After using your spray, wipe the nozzle carefully with a clean tissue or handkerchief, and replace the dust cap.Cleaning your spray

2. Pull upwards on the white collar to remove the nozzle.
3. Soak the nozzle and dust cap in warm water for a few minutes.
