We ran out of Shout the other day so I mixed up a concoction of TSP, dawn dish soap, and some water to thin it up in the empty spray bottle. I have to say, it works better than the original laundry stain pretreatment. I even went back and sprayed some jeans that I thought were ruined and they came out clean as a whistle. I guess that makes sense, the P in TSP stands for phosphates which were removed from laundry soap in the 1980's.
Makes me wonder what other uses for TSP I'm missing...

Thank you for sharing that. I love learning of things like this.
Not sure TSP is similar to a degreaser in chemical makeup, but I used a commercial degreaser to clean the nicotine off the walls in my rental, and it worked perfectly. I am wondering if using this degreaser in the laundry would work as well. That said, a person might want to make sure to test on a work shirt or something. Plus be sure the amount of suds it produces doesn't damage the pump. --73.19.xxx.xx |

I was an idiot before, didn't read the notice on TSP about wearing gloves when using it. It does a great job of removing a layer of skin.
I would be interested in a month finding out if your jeans are still holding up. It is some strong stuff. I have used it - now a days with a mop - to wash walls that have tar or nicotine on them. --67.140.xx.xxx |

I thought it was illegal in Indiana.
I want to get some for cleaning and prepping aluminum siding on my daughter's house.
I didn't realize it worked on so many other things. --107.147.xx.xx |

I guess this doesn't count as an alternate use, but I used it to clean the grease off the walls around ovens. Works great, as long as it's semi-gloss paint. If it was flat paint, it started to remove the paint as well. --108.52.xxx.xxx |

Want me to smuggle in some TSP to you?
Once upon you had to watch out so you wouldn't get caught doing something illegal. In an age of REAL ID being mandated to fly, the Federal government is saying they don't trust the state government. --67.140.xx.xxx |

I am noting stores are selling TSP substitutes here. Are you talking original TSP or the substitute TSP? --75.11.xx.xx |
