Sounds like good stuff. the plants outta love it that are planted along the bottom of siding. Suggest less toxic solution, AKA white vinegar.
Natural, 5% acidic, biodegradable.

T.S.P. is trisodium phosphate. It is available in the paint department of the hardware store.

T.S.P. is a powdered cleaner that contains trisodium phosphate as the active ingredient. It is an all purpose heavy duty cleaner. I can buy it in the paint stores, but I am sure that the walmart and hardware stores carry it too.

Since the older house we live in was all painted in a white flat paint before we bought it, I use it when washing the walls. It is also recommended to use when washing older painted walls before repainting to get all grease and dirt off of them.
