Ive recently been collecting wine bottles for my home made wine that is in the carboys now. I finally have enough bottles to start bottling and I wanted to remove all the labels. I did some research and soaked them in the tube with water and oxy clean over night. The labels came off fine for the most part, but now that the bottles are dried they seem to have a very hard stain that looks to be from the oxy clean soap. I tried running a few through the dishwasher with no soap in hopes that this would clean them off, but there still not clean at all. My biggest fear is that the inside of the bottles have this same soapy substance that is nearly imposiable to scrub off. Is there any way I can treat these bottles or should I just not use them? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this wine is being made for my sisters wedding, and I don't want anything to go bad with the 60 bottles of wine that are being made on such a big day.
