If i soaked a bottle in some Barkeepers Friend, would it take the paint/labeling off of it? Like an old mountain dew bottle?

No, but BKF is meant for scrubbing, not soaking.. soak the bottle in a bleach solution instead.

Hi Cherokee,
Bkf is great for cleaning innsulators.
just leave them soak,until they sparkle.
bottles are a differant story
soaking in bkf just does not cut it.
welcome to the forum !!!

Well, you don't need to be too precise.. it depends how dirty the bottles are. 8 oz of bleach per gallon of water is usually plenty.

Soaking in BKF will do okay, but if there are some stains on your bottle, even acl, BKF will get it off by scrubbing. I have some Hartman Beverages bottles that looked hopeless with staining, but after scrubbing them really well with BKF they looked mint.

I'm just curious, what is the indication for Spam, in this case?
