Storage Bottle for Cleaning Solution

I recently got an Okki Nokki RCM and it comes with a cleaning solution concentrate which needs to be mixed with 1 liter of distilled water. Anyone have a good suggestion for a storage bottle for the solution? Should it be glass vs plastic?

 

Well what I use is the emply windshield washer bottles that we use at the GM dealer I work at. This is a concentrate that is mixed with water. They are quart bottles that are extremely heavy duty. We throw armloads away every week. A trip to your local GM dealer may net you as many as you want for free. Have used them for 20 years effectively.

 

Some high end fluids like Lart Du Son suggests mixes to be stored in glass for long term storage but I myself and most others just use the 50ml plastic bottle applicator that the Okki Nokki comes with to do small mixtures at a time.

I dont know what your fluid contains but a rule of thumb is always a cool place with as little light as possible, like a cellar.

 

I enjoyed a cold coke in a 1 liter plastic bottle.

 

The Okki Nokki stuff is alcohol based and doesn't need anything fancy. I'd just mix it into a plastic bottle/jug of distilled water. That's what I do with Tergitol. Only the enzyme based cleaners need special storage.

 

I use a plastic ketchup bottle. The kind u see at fast food restaurants with tapered tipo

 

I use an old red D4 Dishwasher Record Cleaning Fluid bottle. It came with my D4 Cleaning kit back in the 80’s. I’ve been refilling it with my own concoction for years.

 

Lab Wash Bottle. I would buy the 500 ml ones and use half the bottle of concentrate. Any bigger and the bottles can be awkward. Amazon has them. It's a plastic bottle with a bent straw with a fine reduced diameter tip. You just point and squeeze. I would buy the one of the multiple bottle sets. You can use another one to hold distilled water for a follow up rinse cycle.
I used the concentrate on my Okki Nokki. Then I just switched to DIY 20/80 Isopropyl/Distilled Water with a drop of PhotoFlo and a drop of Dawn.

 

Zoot,

Beer growlers work for me, but don't leave it sitting out at parties.
