Getting bottles ready for first batch

Ok it's only been a few days since I cooked up my first batch so I decided to get a jump on things. I read online that oxiclean  is pretty much the same thing as one step cleaner that a lot of home brewers use. I had a big bucket of the clorox version that is odorless so I decided to go ahead with it. I added 4 scoops to my cooler filled with water and 48 bottles fit pretty nice. I am gonna leave them in there for a few days then peel of the labels and rinse. I will also put the bottles in the dish washer for a rinse and heat cycle.  On bottling day I will rinse the bottles with sanitizer and go.
