Any idea what’s in the lemi-shine, besides lemon oil? Their MSDS lists the ingredients as ‘proprietary.’ I’m guessing citric or lactic acid, more likely the former.

Beware that the big box hardware stores are now selling "phosphate free" TSP. Read the box carefully! How can they even call it TSP when there's no "P" in it?
It's tri sodium without the "P".

Borax is also good for termite control.

My front loader takes liquid detergent only. Does TSP come in a liquid form? If not, I suppose I could just put the powder directly on the clothes at the start.

Someone told me it was good for ants so I tried it yesterday. The trail of ants walking across the driveway kept right on truckin’.

I've noticed Menards only carries the phos free stuff. Saved me a trip with that tip. Menard's is where I usually buy those type items.

For the dishwasher, try and keep it around a quarter tsp....we’ve been doing that for about two months now and our old cheap silverware sparkles like new - unbelievable.

“Make certain that it is REAL tri-sodium phosphate, not the phosphorus free substitute.”
Hee Sodium free sodium phosphate (the name Tri-sodium phosphate is commonly used but wrong according to current chemical nomenclature) What a nation of self-deluded mnorons we’ve become.
Na3PO4 without the P is not Sodium phosphate. What a crock for a manufacturer to say there is such an animal.
not insulting the poster agreeing with him.

Thanks. I bought a box for my mom, I’ll tell her to back off on the amount.

Be very careful with the caustic soda (sodium hydroxide).
I work with the stuff. Get a few crystals on your skin and it will blister you if not washed off immediately. Be especially careful to not get it in your eyes!

Sodium Hydroxide is what is in Drano - definitely dangerous.

I’ll have to try that. Right now I use arm and hammer and add bleach when I do my sheets and towels.

It says it is poisonous. Can it be used in hand dishwashing soap?

This article has it all laid out as to how this all happened.
The usual plot line. Polititians, junk science directly contradicted by waste water management engineers, non profits, and idiotic “journalism”.

I have found that for dishes the TSP works the very best with liquid cascade. The laundry has also never been cleaner.
