"Go to Home Depot and buy a 3lb box of Trisodium Phospate from the paint department for $10"

Our Home depot only had "TSP" that specifically stated it was "phosphate free".

Maybe I missed the good stuff but I looked pretty closely.

If you look on eBay, you can still buy the “good stuff” in the red box (TSP).

What you really want, however, is also on eBay, is sodium tri poly phosphate. STPP is the acronym.

Both products degrade over time and exposure to air, I suppose. I can attest both products work great in dishwashers and clothes washers. But some have suggested that TSP is much too harsh for use and may damage the equipment eventually. The STPP is the component of detergent that has been actually removed and works great.

That’s not the TSP you are looking for.
