Spray bottle advice?

Spray bottle advice?

I make my own cleaners and put them into (well-labelled) spray bottles, but the sprayers bust with disappointing regularity. (I’m talking about things that look like this.)

Sometimes the long tube that stick down into the solution stops spraying liquid and all I get is puffs of air. More often, after I squeeze the trigger, it sticks, and doesn’t return to the starting position easily.

Does anyone know why that happens, how to fix sticky spray mechanisms, or where I can find more robust spray bottles?
