I know I've read on here somewhere that a soak in starsan will remove the white residue left by oxygen cleaners and hard water. I have hard water at the apartment and I've left bottles in sun oxygen cleaner for days and never had an issue.
I clean bottles in a 4 gallon frosting bucket I got from the bakery. Fill up with hot water and bottles, spread one scooper full of sun cleaner around making sure to get some in the bottles and cover loosely to keep the heat in. Labels float off as quick as 5 min sometimes. After a few hours the bottles get a thorough rinse in hot water, dried and then stored. On bottling day it's just a few quick pumps on the vinator and fill her up.
