Last time I removed labels, I used baking soda and it worked well. I’d like to do it again… but I forgot the soda/water ratio. I was searching for the pages I saw before and found some conflicting results.

https://liquidbreadmag.com/how-to-remove-labels-from-beer-bottles/ 4 tsp (aka 1.3 tbsp) per gallon of water.
Those are VASTLY different amounts. Most webpages list the 16tbps/1gal ratio. Only that one site listed the 1.3 tbsp/1gal ratio. While baking soda is cheap and not an issue, I found the difference to be a little weird.
Anyone have any experience with using baking soda and can offer personal accounts of what ratio you used?
I use Goo Gone and then chuck all the bottles into the dishwasher. To put it into perspective, a single drop of Goo Gone cleans an entire label off.
(It’s basically lighter fluid.)
