A big tub of hot water and oxyclean for a couple hours, then rinse really well. Make sure you fill the bottles with the solution when you add them to the tub.

Get a jet washer. Every homebrew supply shop that I've seen sell them. I have one and love it.

I do an overnight soak in (low) bleach water in the sink and remove the labels.

I also have a bottle brush that I've cut off the loop so I can insert it into my drill to clean it inside...
