10622 Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) 4.5lbs

The real deal, genuine trisodiumphosphate! The “substitute “ garbage sold at the local stores does not work and therefore doesn’t compare. Came in a sealed marked bag rather than the box pictured, but I can’t complain at all about that. It had not absorbed any moisture and become a solid unusable block like others have mentioned. Still completely granular and usable!!! Easily removed smoke stains from walls and ceiling with minimal effort. Very easy to use and was completely soluble in warm water. Did not have any harsh smells at all!

This was my first purchase of TSP so I can't say whether this brand is especially good or bad compared to others. I wanted to try it as a laundry additive and wall wash specifically to remove synthetic fragrance. The tenant before us here stank up the washing machine with scented laundry stuff and it transferred onto our clothes & is proving very hard to remove! The TSP is definitely better than borax, baking soda, vinegar, or detergent, but perhaps not quite as good as ammonia. No matter what we try, it seems it takes a half dozen runs through the machine (with long soaks) to remove the vile chemicals. This same stinky tenant used some sort of scented candle or something in one of the rooms and we have it closed off until we figure out how to clean it up (I get very ill from certain ingredients in synthetic fragrance). We will someday soon be donning full PPE and scrubbing that room with TSP, after which I will update this review. We will also be trying it on the walls and benches in a little screened-in porch here that people used for smoking for many years. I have high hopes it can tackle that as it is the main claim to fame of TSP that it can remove smoke residue. Edit: OMG I'm sorry I forgot to add to this after I did the smoke abatement. STELLAR results!!! So we had a screened-in porch that had decades of smoke buildup on the walls, windowsills, wooden ceiling, vinyl flooring, and handmade rustic furniture. I was dreading all that scrubbing. TSP made it come off SO EASILY! Like a flippin miracle. So amazing. I put on a white suit and booties, taped the ankles together, also taped rubber gloves to the suit's wrists, and pulled the hood up around a full-face respirator. I hear TSP is a bit irritating to the skin but my big worry was all the nicotine & other poisons in the cigarette tar, especially as I've always been a nonsmoker so my body would be very jolted by a sudden big dose of nicotine. It was no joke- the dirty water came off incredibly brown like giant volumes of chew-tobacco spit hah! Sealed up well I took a bucket of warm water and rags for wiping, and a bucket of warm TSP water (about 1/4c for a couple gallons), with a sponge on a stick (I think it's designed for use in doing dishes) and a bristled scrubby brush for applying. I applied the TSP water generously over an area about 6'x 6', and then went back to where I started, and rubbed the area with more TSP water on the scrubby brush. In just ten min or so of sitting, it had dissolved the tar wonderfully and it came off well. The bristles were more useful for getting into crevices than needed for scouring. I didn't have to push hard or linger long. It worked perhaps a bit too well... the varnish came off a bit. But I think it had been carelessly applied, just a single layer. If you're planning to repaint after cleaning, this would actually be an advantage as the new paint would stick better to a corroded surface than a sleek one. The damaged varnish did not peel, it just disappeared- the fact that it's partially gone is not very noticeable until you look closely. No ugly flaking. Anyhoo, then I went across the same 6x6 area with the sponge-on-a-stick and the plain water. Changed the water then rinsed again with the clean rag. Dried with another clean rag. Then repeated on the next 6x6 chunk of the room. It took several long days but I was so proud when I finally got the last bit of it complete! This was done in the spring, and all summer, whether on baking hot days or soggy foggy rainy days, there was zero cigarette smell in that porch! The residues are truly totally gone! I can't believe it worked so great and it didn't take a long soak, or much scrubbing, or any tremendous heat... it was easy and simple (aside from gearing up in all that PPE) Oh, the picnic furniture I took out onto the lawn so when the rinsing stage came I just used the hose rather than fussing to wipe it all clean with rags. I rinsed the lawn pretty well afterward. There was no discoloration of the grass. So that was nice- I thought maybe it would either kill or overfertilize the grass.

The product description is accurate. I am very satisfied with this purchase. The price was reasonable and the item was delivered in good condition. I may consider purchasing this item again or at least recommend it to other people.

Works really well for washing painted walls especially before new paint. Read safety warning very carefully. Also works well in wood burning stoves and fire places for crusting up creosote so it can be brushed away.

I wasn’t sure if I really needed TSP, but it was cheap, so I decided to try it. We had to repaint my parents’ house after they passed — years of smoke buildup from my dad smoking inside. It was recommended to clean with TSP before painting, and it worked perfectly, removing the grime and making painting a breeze. We also used it at our own house to tackle years of kitchen grease on the ceiling and walls before repainting. A great bargain for a powerful cleaning product.

This stuff used to be in every detergent and comrpised about 15% of the powder by weight. it was phased out for environmental reasons and that is why you haven't had really clean clothes since the 1980s and easrly 90s. However, if you use this product sensibly and only on the things that need it the most, you won't be damaging the environment IF your waste water goes to a Treatment Plant. If it goes straight into the ground water or into a septic tank as in some rural places, I would say you should consider an alternative to TSP, and there are some. That said, if you do use TSP judiciously, it really helps with whites and socks the most. When you first start using it, you can see old socks that had black heels start getting brighter with each wash. Also, I add it to the water FIRST, always use it with HOT water wash (rinse can be warm) and then I add the clothnes after the TSP and detergent have mixed fully. In a few agitations, you see the dirty water right away and it's amazing. Even if it just extends the life of socks and white tees, undies, etc, it's worth it but I've noticed it also really helps prevent food stains from staying on the clothes. I don't use this in every load, but when I do use it, I'm glad to have it. It's probably a GOOD thing that this chemcial is no longer in EVERY laundry detergent on the market cuz you don't really need it every time you wash and never did. However, when you are doing socks or really dirty clothes, it helps make a HUGE difference. I only use it maybe 3 times a month so I feel I am making up for the added phosphate in the water by not having to buy new clothes as frequently or re-wash the dirty socks over and over to get them clean. My Carbon Footprint is probably evened out by eliminating the use of bleach, all those rewashes and the purchases of newly made clothes which require so much water, bleaching of the cotton and so forth. I only use 1/4 cup dissolved in water for a medium to large load of socks and other major dirty things so one purchase lasts me about 8 to 9 months or more. Do you NEED this? Well, if you like your laundry results just fine, you truly don't need this. However, f your socks are still coming out black, you likely DO need this for the socks and undies loads. Just remember, this is not a product to be used willy nilly in every load. it isn't Oxyclean, and thank goodness it's not since OxyClean eats holes in your natural fibers including Cotton. Oh, they won't tell you that on the label but they do when you call them up and ask why all your cottons suddenly have holes in them. This can be a less harmful solution when used with proper judgment. Obviously, one needs to weigh the costs and benefits of adding phosphates to your grey water waste and find some ways to make up for that in other areas of your cleaning regimine or recycling efforts. You can't just add something back to your routine without taking other envionmentally impactive products OUT. We began ramping up our our composting efforts and line drying more loads in the bathroom since we can't do it outside due to air pollution. This was a family lesson for us and a teachable moment.

This works so well to clean the walls before painting.

Not being able to find true TSP in my local big box stores, it was nice to find on Amazon. Product was somewhat caked when I opened the package, but those clumps easily dissolved in water. Great cleaning power.

Buen producto de apoyo para la limpieza en general. Fantástico para la remoción de grasa y manchas muy-muy difíciles. Recomiendo sea usado con discreción; contienen fosfatos.

Great cleaning product, but have to take care on what surfaces you can or can’t use it. Must read instructions. Did the job I needed it to do. Comes in big package so I have quite a bit left for next time.
