At this point, I'm not so much worried about oxidation, but the freaking oxiclean residue in my bottles. I let them sit for about 12 hours, and now maybe a 1/4 of them have white residue on the inner lip....i've heard vinegar, but i'm not sure how to go about it. Right now, I have all my bottles...
