How many labels have you removed so you can reuse a wine bottle, how many are just to hard to remove so you toss them in the garbage? I had about 40-50 bottles I could not get the labels off without lots and lots of hard work so I decided to throw them away. When I would go out to the garage I would see them over flowing the recycling bin and was thinking maybe there has to be a way to save them. I decided I would try once more so I took about 6 of the impossible bottles and a couple easy to remove back to my wine cellar and determined I would find away to remove the labels without a lot of work. I was thinking what do I have that will dissolve almost anything but is not too "dangerous". What I came up with is Soda Ash, Sodium Hydroxide, Goo Gone label solvent and dish soap. I got my 6.5 gallon bucket and added 5 gallons of warm water, 3/4 cup of soda ash, 1/2 cup Sodium Hydroxide, 1/4 cup Goo Gone solvent and 1/4 cup soap and submerge the bottles in the solution.
