For those that used the bottles for extracts and used labels, did you sterilize the bottles? If yes, how so?

I did not, though some recipes for vanilla, which is what I used them for, said to sterilize. I would imagine just putting them in boiling water for a short period of time would do the trick-minus the plastic lids. I would not know how the sterilize the lids.

Yes! I actually had to remove some labels off of one container and put them on another one, I had no issues.

You can sterilize them in boiling water over the stove in a pot and depending on your brand sterilizer you are suppose to be able to sterilize these bottles as well. I have read that Avent and Wabi Baby can do so. Mainly you just need to sterilize them when brand new and on occasion otherwise soap and water is just fine.

No. I have not tried to remove them. Permanent vs removable is what they are referring to. Removable means it is easy to remove and leaves little if any residue, if you are planning to remove the labels, get removable ones. If you are not then buy permanent.

The labels are removable but they are difficult to remove and are not like the ball labels that are removable with soap and water. I use them on the sealing lid and so I usually don't reuse the lids when canning. I have never use them on the jars so I'm not sure how that would work.

I have removed them from some surfaces... particularly hard ones like plastic, glass, etc. However, they will likely self-distruct when done. Paper is another issue. You would probably destroy both the label and the paper it's attached to. You could try heating it with a hair dryer first as that may soften the grip of the label glue used.

I'm not sure. I've only had them on for about a week. I think you can just pull them off. They are pretty durable, so I'm not sure if they would leave a residue on the bottle. These are very good labels. No issues so far!

I did refrigerate the actual bottle. However, I used it to make hand sanitizer and did not refrigerate the hand sanitizer.

That's not good. All my bottles had seals. Let the seller know and get a replacement.

Yes, as far as we know. We used steam sterilizing via microwave for all of our bottling needs. They've held up great!

Quoting my wife: you should wash the bottles with soap after everytime you use them before putting it into the sterilizer.

The manufacturer's manual instructions indicate that they should be sterilize only in boiling water. They do not recommend microwave sterilization. I have no idea why. I did follow the instructions and my bottles are in great condition after been boil a lot of times.

I actually cut the bottle in half and use a knife or spatula to remove the remaining liquid. This may sound crazy or odd, but there is always a bunch left in the bottle. I do this for tubes, too.

You can remove them... If you want to store 1.5L bottles. That's it. You sacrifice an entire row of 750 ml bottles doing that.

I can vouch for months and months of hand washing. These labels don't come off until you take the off. Go ahead and try them on your baby bottles (glass or plastic). I have plastic containers. I also have glass containers I use for freezing. They work great. I can't vouch for putting them through a dish washer, but I say again, these label don't come off. Hope I've helped!
