I normally just refill the sprayer and small olive oil bottles on my kitchen counter. I started thinking some of that has been in there a long time.

It hasn't smelled or gone rancid but still...

These are glass bottles, not the store bottle.

Are those actually practical? How do you clean them. My ex tried that but it got gross real fast, the nozzle gunked up and it was just too much of a hassle to use.

I haven't used the type I linked just grab a image. Mine is a pump (using index finger) type. But I use almost every day and never had a issue with it gunking up. I just cleaned it for the first time in 6-8 months.

Now, it does require some "umph" to spray, if you try to lightly spray it just comes out as a weak stream and leaks everywhere including down the bottle.
