Switched from spray to pump bottle for disinfectant - huge difference

I used the standard spray bottle for sanitizer for 3 years. Finally swapped to a pump sprayer like the ones for garden chemicals. It covers a whole chair in 2 seconds vs 10 seconds of spraying. My shop is in Dallas and I do about 12 cuts a day, this saves me close to 5 minutes total. That adds up when you are trying to fit in a walk-in. Anyone else make a simple switch that saved way more time than you expected?

Bought a pump sprayer for my home office after seeing this and accidentally dyed my whole desk blue because I forgot to rinse it from the previous weed killer. Still worth it though. I do about 8 disinfecting rounds a week in my small shop and the pump cuts it down to maybe 30 seconds total instead of 3 minutes of squeezing that trigger. My thumb thanks me every single time.

Used to roll my eyes at these pump sprayer posts, thought it was overkill. But saw @grayperez mention the thumb thing and that hits home. I was squeezing a trigger bottle for months just on my tool bench and my hand would cramp up after a few cleanings. Got a small 1 liter pump and now I blast through degreaser in like 15 seconds flat. Never going back to the squeeze bottles for anything bigger than a spot clean. You ever try one of those sprayer wands that clip onto a bottle?
