TSP & Diswashing powder
"HeyBub" wrote in message ... The two soap dispensers on my dishwasher contain 5 tablespoons each of diswashing powder. Assuming 1 tbsp of TSP per load, the proper ratio then is 10:1 So you get a big mixing bowl, measure out the diswashing detergent and add 1/10th that amount of TSP. Mix thoroughly. Mix some more. Put the mixture back in detergent container*. If you are of the opinion that only 1 teaspoon of TSP is appropriate for a load of dishes, then the dilution factor should be 30:1 (1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons). --------- * Cut an "X" in the top of the now-empty detergent box, using a funnel, pour your mixture back in the box. Heal the "X" cut with duct tape. ============== As well as water quality, dosage might depend on what brand you use. Some products labeled "TSP" can be less than half that. Savogran's is like 80%, might be ok except I don't know the safety the other stuff in it. Here's one place to get the pure stuff: http://www.cqconcepts.com/chem_tsp.php |
