    As we talk about the aerosol can product,  it's brilliant when they work well, but what about when they don't? We have a massive range of aerosols, from spray paints to chemical sprays. It covers our lives and industries.

    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.

    After Use:
    Even more underrated is holding your can upside down and spraying until there is no more content spraying out. This clears the nozzle and the straw, preventing content from settling in small, hard-to-reach areas.
    If your aerosol can has unfortunately blocked already and won't spray, here are a few top tips we have tried and tested:
----Hold the can upside down and spray; this should release some of the pressure

----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.
