Ok, I Like many others can't stand to use bottles with labels. Also like many others I have struggled with delableification (if that is even a word) of bottles. I tried soaking some of my more stubborn bottles for a few days in some oxyclean (was a powder form, like one might use for laundry). When I tried cleaning them after a week, (having forgotten about them) I saw that there was a white gritty film on all the bottles. I tried to scrub it off with some detergent, but to no avail. The Oxyclean was so powerful that it actually etched the surface of the glass, even to the point of pitting it in some places on a few of the bottles. Using some CRL bio-clean I was able to salvage 5 of the 17 bottles I had soaking, the, others I deemed to damaged to be worth the effort.
This is my only experience with Oxyclean, and I may not be using the same type as others who have used it successfully in the past, but I would definitely caution against prolonged exposure to this stuff.
