Comments about Sterling TSP - Trisodium Phosphate Cleaner:
Nothing makes detergents work as well as TSP. Adding 1/8 to 1/4 cup to a load of laundry will make a noticeable difference. A tablespoon will demonstrate that your dishwasher isn't the problem in getting your dishes clean!
Comments about Sterling TSP - Trisodium Phosphate Cleaner:
After researching making my own laundry and dishwashing detergent, I found an article discussing TSP. I had no idea about the government mandates banning the use of phosphates in household detergents and cleaners. I bought 5 boxes[...] few weeks ago. Best deal anywhere by far. This product delivered when it came time to test it out in the dishwasher. I use a Finish Powerball tab with a tablespoon of TSP and everything is so clean. I now know what I've been missing all of these years, phosphates!! I have been using 2 tablespoons or 1/8 cup in my laundry but I'm not quite sure if it's getting it cleaner. I usually use borax and washing soda as laundry additives to my regular powder detergent. Maybe my clothes are already pretty clean so that's why I don't see a noticeable difference. (I've been using this alone with my laundry detergent as a comparison.) I highly recommend Savogran TSP purely based on its cleaning abilities in the dishwasher.

Comments about Sterling TSP - Trisodium Phosphate Cleaner:
This is the "phosphate" that the US Gov't banned from consumer products decades ago as being bad for the environment. Trouble is, nothing works as well as this stuff.
Excels at cleaning bare wood after stripping and sanding, prior to applying paint or varnish. Add a small amount of chlorine bleach to remove heavy mildew.
Works great on bilges, engine rooms, etc. Mixed as a strong solution, it can remove latex paint and dull the gloss of oil-based paints prior to recoating.
Nothing works as well for a once or twice a year cleaning of teak decks.

Comments about Sterling TSP - Trisodium Phosphate Cleaner:
Powdered TSP mixed with water works well on greasy garage floors, oil surfaces and ground in grime. You don't need a bunch of fancy bottled cleaners. TSP and a good scrub brush will do the trick.
