Hey all-
I recently soaked maybe 150 bottles in a dilute ammonia solution to get the labels off, but got sort of busy and let them sit for almost a week. After drying (labels came off great), I noticed that nearly all of them had a deposit of some hazy, powdery stuff on both the inside and outside of the bottles. I tried soaking them again in Oxyclean, to no effect. Anyone else have this problem? It seems like there should be something that would just take this stuff right off (vinegar, maybe?), but I can't seem to find any information. I should probably just cut my losses, but some of these are 22oz bottles, as well as some flip tops and I'd rather not just throw them away. A good bottle scrubber would probably work, but that's a lot of bottles. Any ideas?
