The two soap dispensers on my dishwasher contain 5 tablespoons each

Assuming 1 tbsp of TSP per load, the proper ratio then is 10:1



Bzzzttt. Incorrect. If your dishwasher holds 10 tablespoons, and you
want one of them to be TSP, that's a 9:1 ratio, not 10:1.

I was assuming that one filled the dispensers with powdered or liquid
detergent then flung a teaspoon or tablespoon of TSP into the bowels of the
machine. In so doing, the ratio would be 10:1 (or 30:1).
