Default Getting labels off easy

Thank you to the many people who said to soak bottles in oxy clean and water to get labels off.

I had been soaking old bottles in simple green and water for 24 hours and then scrapping off labels. With an oxy soak, it only took a couple of hours and the labels had fallen off.

I have had a lot of luck with just hot water ... I have my temp on the hot water heater set high .. I get 145 water from it. I fill the bottles up then lay them flat in the water.. let them soak for 10 mins.. labels peel right of and leaves a little left over glue, let them set for another few mins then use a scotch bright pad for a few seconds and .. nice clean bottles.

Warm water and oxyclean worked on 90% of the bottles I had. Most labels floated off, others had to be peeled. Any left over glue I removed with a scrubbing sponge.
