Nice! I might have to copy you, do you remove the labels and then just hope the dishwasher gets the sticky off?
i would recommend removing the adhesive with a razor or appropriate chemical, you dont want to clog up the works in your washer.
If the label is paper, give it half effort at peeling, then let the dishwasher take care of the rest. If it's plastic, peel it off and let the dishwasher wash off the goo. I have had it take a couple cycles to get it all off, though. I do this with Calypso bottles mainly.
Acetone works good to get the goo off. It might fuck with your washing machine when there are bits and glue in the pump.
