Hello guys! I always have problem with the Neem oil and crap caking on the bottom of my battery operated garden sprayer and clogging it up. I normally mix Neem oil and 3 in 1 pesticide together and there's always clumps in reservoir. What do you guys soak your sprayer in to avoid Neem oil clogging? Thanks in advance.
 
Hot, very hot water and dishwashing soap.
The gunk can be a problem, but it becomes liquid again if you heat it.
But I'd have to act immediately, the longer I wait the harder it gets to remove it.

That's also how I emulsify my neem oil, with hot water and dishwashing liquid soap. If neem oil keeps floating up top, I'm using too much neem oil or too little soap.
