oxy clean versatile

[garyhood]

Is this ok to do the label remover?

 

[cellardoor]

It's what I use.

I use the same. Just submerge labeled bottles in a bath of oxyclean and hot water. Works in about an hour.

I also use OxyClean (actually, the generic stuff...) to get rid of my bottles' labels. I just put a scoop of OxyClean in a bucket and fill it with very hot water. Most labels come off very quickly, but I actually tend to forget about the bottles for a day or two. After two days, the labels will probably be just floating around in the bucket.

Magic Hat was a bottle I had a very tough time removing the labels on. Leaving the bottles in the bucket for two days let the labels fall right off...

I believe there is Versatile, and then there is Versatile FREE...the FREE is the one you want.

You're right kilted. The oxyclean versatile is perfumed. Oxy free is not.

Probably not a huge deal on glass... but why risk it?

even after a good rinse should it matter and a sanitizing session... let me know!
thanks everyone

I only use the 'free' kind because I don't like having perfumed cleaners near my stuff. If you rinse really well, it should be ok, but I would suggest just going to get some without the additional crap in it.

I use the sun oxygen cleaner, its the same as the oxyclean and cheaper.

I've never been able to find the "free"... I just use the regular one, it's not very scented...

In the Chicago-area, its carried by all the big grocery store chains - I get mine at Jewel-Osco.

It's 'Oxi Clean', not 'Oxy Clean'. Not that it matters a lot, but I found it interesting I never noticed when it was pointed out on another thread.

Same around here (Washington, DC area), Oxi Clean Free is at Giant, Safeway, etc.

+1 on using the scentless OxiClean to remove the labels. It works great. FYI - labels from Brooklyn Brewery are pretty hard to remove as well.

I actually soaked my primary in an OxiClean solution after transferring to secondary to get any odors out.
