Abstract
A recharge insert, for use with a spray dispenser device, is made of a matrix material impregnated with a chemical that is dry-to-the-touch and becomes dissolved in solution with a diluent fluid such as water. The recharge insert is formed in an elongated cylindrical shape with a center opening for mounting on the standard plastic downtube of the spray dispenser device. The insert sleeve may be formed with a side slit to open and wrap it around the downtube. When the spray bottle is filled with water, sealed, and shaken, the fluid penetrates into the matrix material, and the chemical composition becomes dissolved in solution, thereby creating a cleaning, sanitizing or disinfectant solution that will remain stable and fully active in use. The matrix material can be mounted on a hollow tubular carrier with lower spacer legs, or affixed to an upper retaining disk that is seated on the container neck for holding the insert clear of the lower intake end of the tube.
