Aerosol Deodorant /antiperspirant evaporating
Primrose
Posts: 10,720 Forumite
I came across an exceptional good offer for these aerosol sprays a couple of years ago so stocked up rather generously.
However I'm now finding to my chagrin that when I come to use a new can some of them are almost empty which wasn't the case when I bought them. They're stored in a box in the bathroom which is located about a foot away from a radiator.
I never realised evaporation would be a problem. Has anybody else experienced this and could storage conditions be anything to do with the problem?

If they are pressurised aerosols then you'd only lose contents if the valve was faulty... and that would be from a loss of the propellant gas by leakage rather than evaporation.I never realised evaporation would be a problem.

Aerosol can valves shouldn't leak... I've got some tins that are 20+ years old and still work fine, but admittedly the valves on more modern antiperspirant cans might be made to lower (throwaway) standards.
I suspect the manufacturer will tell you they are only designed to last 12/24 months or something like that, but there is probably no harm in emailing their customer services to complain... they might send you a voucher as a gesture of goodwill
