I put all bottles in a large tub filled with a mild bleach solution.
If you use a bleach solution in your normal cleaning/sanitizing
process, you can dump the solution into the tub rather than down the
drain. I use a razor blade scraper (see
http://www.cleansweepsupply.com/pict...d/zbos1066.jpg) and
stainless steel wool (see http://www.multi-pro.ca/images/pan926.jpg)
to remove ANY label. With a good scraper, even the glued plastic
labels come off with a minute or two of elbow grease time.
