Check whether the bottle has a removable cap, spray top, or stopper
Hold the bottle firmly on a flat surface
Pull the cap straight up if it is a standard cap
Twist the cap gently if it does not lift off easily
Press and turn the spray top if it has a locking mechanism
Use your fingers to lift the metal collar or decorative cover if present
Gently pry off a crimped spray top only if necessary
Use a cloth for better grip if the bottle is slippery
Avoid forcing the bottle to prevent breakage
Stop if the bottle feels sealed or fragile
