I have to go to work but I wanted to soak my plastic carboy. Is it ok if I soak it for 3 or 4 hours???
How long can I soak my better bottles carboy (plastic) in oxi free?

I don't have any experience with better bottles, but I'm curious what line of work you're in? I'm currently unemployed, but I'd be very interested in a job that would only remove me from brewing for 3-4 hours

can't see why it would be bad. just make sure you rinse well afterwards to get any residue off.

LoL...I work for a foodservice company, but all we're doing today is inventory.
I've soaked mine for days. Probably 4 or 5.

I have let mine sit overnight before with no problems.
The better bottle website has a page on cleaning/sanitizing. I'm not sure I'm reading it right, but I think it implies that their tests had no damage to the bottle after sitting with PBW (they say Oxi is a related detergent) for 15 days. Here's the link: BetterBottle bottles, BetterBottle carboys, and BetterBottle fermenters and related components Technical Information (click on Wash/Sanitize on the left).
