What is the best way to remove bottle labels
I never soak mine...just run hot tap water into the bottle so it warms the inside and overflows onto the label, peel it off and use a rough sponge to get the excess glue off. Works for me, but I only do like 6-10 at a time. I do a 6 pack in about 10 min. To each his own.
oxyclean and hot water for an overninght (min) soak.
Ok, this will be the first time, and last I hope, that I ever disagree with Revvy. "Overnight" my arss, I filled an ice chest with the recomended mix fo Oxyclean, put bottles in, walked away for 20 minutes and when I returned the freaking labels were floating. Now when I put another batch of bottles in, they didn't fare as well, solution became deluted a bit I guess, but still were pretty easy, just had to rub the adhesive residue off.:fro:Oxyclean and hot water for an overninght (min) soak.
