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.
