Oxyclean in the sink?

[Ringmaster]

I keep hearing people say they use a bucket but i've been plugging one side of the sink and filling it up with oxyclean and water to get the labels off bottles/clean whatever.

Is there any reason i shouldn't do this? Could it be bad for the sink or something?

I do it too when I have bottles with labels on 'em

no ill effects here

I use it in both the sink (big double sink) and the tub (for kegs mostly) without a problem. I just make sure to rinse thoroughly afterwords.

I think it's perfectly fine in the sink. People use a bucket or a trash can to soak bottle because they are usually deeper than a sink. I know I have a real shallow sink that only holds 12 bottles to soak.

The sink use is fine and actually it will give your sink a good cleaning! +1 on a good rinse or you will have residue.

You have less to worry about with Oxyclean than you would if you were doing a load of dishes with bleach in the water. Don't worry about it.
