RE: Yes they are cleanable - 9/22/2008 8:40:48 PM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 911 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Barkeepers friend mixed with baking soda into a paste. And put on with a super soft brush . Then washed in soapy water and rinsed rinsed rinsed then air dried. Be careful with it it will destroy a label if not done right (What I mean is it will take it off or fade it )  BOB _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to madman) Post #: 7

Of course if the label is chalky , it will not do it any good . And I do mean polishing compound , not rubbing compound , it is too coarse in my opinion . (in reply to digger mcdirt) Post #: 8

Works great and doesn't damage lables. It works well on chalky lables too but you have to take it slow and easy, use a very soft clean cloth or your finger tip on bad areas. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to L C) Post #: 9
