<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 10587, member: 78"]Hi Book,</p><p> I would put them into a 5gal bucket with soapy water and a little ammonia and let them soak for a day or two. If you are lucky the labels will float off. Rinse and dry, gingerly left the labels and place back on the bottles. They should stick, if not use a diluted elmers white glue to attach them. The experence will help when you get Better bottles. These will be fun to practice on. If the insides do not clean up well pour some uncooked rice and swirl it around if you do not have a bottle brush. I like cleaning old bottles even if they aren't valuable.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
