The secret to easily remove labels with no effort- oxiclean! The labels just float right off and come to the surface of the water. No scrubbing, no residue!

 

I got this little jewel from my Brew Master husband. When he bottles his own beer, he collects beer bottles from neighbors, co-workers, and anyone who would be willing to give them up. Of course they all have labels on them and scrubbing them off is a pain in the rear. One of his brew books let him know about how to remove labels easily by adding a scoop of Oxiclean to a sink full of warm water and dumping them all in to soak. Walk away and in about 30 minutes all of the labels magically float off.
