So I recently had a unique problem while cleaning/delabeling bottles. I put them in my 7 gallon bucket with a scoop of oxiclean like I always have, let them sit overnight and pulled them out. They all have junk stuck to them (inside and out). It's almost like salt or something and only comes off with serious scrubbing. I've used the water from my tap before with no issues but this all of a sudden just started. I figured it was from the water softener so I go outside and get a bucket full of a water from the spigot (doesn't go through the softener), put in a scoop of oxiclean and some bottles and let them sit over night. Same thing. I have no idea how to get this crud out of the inside of my bottles. Tried a bottle brush and it works...somewhat. Dishwasher didn't do much. No real good way to scrub the inside. Any ideas? Also what could be causing it. I'm guessing my oxiclean may be bad since I eliminated the softener? It isn't generic oxiclean either.
