Not sure about others' lack of success with CLR. I have done it to over 100 bottles bought all over the southeast with the same results. Soak for 15 minutes in undiluted CLR and the label wipes off with your finger. This works on Corona, Rogue, etc. As far as contaminating your bottles...

After reading some of these posts I though it important to clarify. When I did this, I used 100% CLR. It was not dilluted at all. I put the bottle in a cup and let it soak in 100% CLR for 20 minutes. A quick wipe with a rag or rinse under water and there was no label. On a few bottles...

I have only tested on Red Stripe and Corona. I am pretty sure it will work with any type of silk screen.

Works exactly the same on Corona bottles as well. It is probably safe to assume it will work on everyhting. But, you know what happens when you assume.

Testing on a Corona bottle right now. I will let you know in about 30 minutes.

This was part of a discussion on another thread but I thought it worthy of posting here too. In attempting to remove labels from Red Stripe bottles for home bottling I have discovered that CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) cleaner removes the painted label in 20-30 minutes with little to no scrubbing at...

I used CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) cleaner and the label comes off. I just filled the bottles with water and set them in a glass with about 1.5 inches of CLR in the bottom. Badda bing badda boom, label is gone in about 15 minutes. I tried this for the first time today with red stripe bottles I...
