I did a few brews which formed allot of buildup in the bottoms which appears all on the sides etc once drained. I tried hosing them under pressure to no avail.
These bottles have custom labels printed on the same stuff as vinyl car stickers and I don't want to damage them.

How would you clean them? I have bleach and hydrogen peroxide but think they'll damage the label?

Also, has anyone found a good brush that cleans everywhere in the bottle?
 
They are already empty however I did try hot water when fresh to no avail :-(

Make a bucket of sodium perc and fill them and let them stand for a couple days.
I’m yet to see some crud it won’t break up eventually.
