I bought Oxiclean, but I don't think it's the "free" version (it has a yellow lid). Can I still use it?

I wouldn't. it will leave a scent in plastics and such.

oxy clean free or PBW or any other cleaner designed for brewing will work. bleach will also work in a pinch, just be sure to rinse. You might be ok with normal oxyclean but I wouldnt do it. if you have any one step (the stuff that comes in mr beer kits) that is a cleaner and sanitizer as well.

i've used regular old dish soap for glass... thorough rinsing, and air dry, opening down. sanitize before bottling. never had a problem

i believe the distinction is scents... regular oxy clean is scented... might impregnate the plastic. oxy clean free is unscented, as is PBW.
if it's glass, it's not that big of a concern, since scents can't really get it there... but i would get in the habit of using PBW for all my brewing-related cleaning... i love the stuff. great for a warm water soak to clean out my better bottle...

so... you won't use PBW... Powdered Brewery Wash... the same cleaner that actual breweries use?
yes, you have to rinse it... it is an alkaline cleaner.. and it's not advertised as a "no rinse" cleaner. so, yes you need to rinse it. but, it works amazingly well as a cleaner... brew pots, fermenters, i think folks use it to clean their kegerator/draft lines...
so what do you use as a cleaner?
