I thought this was a great idea and wanted to try it out adding it to the laundry. Buying TSP brought back the memory of the '70's when they removed phosphates from laundry detergent - it was a big deal back then. I remember our clothes not coming out as clean with the "new, improved" detergents - without phosphates!
I just went to the hardware store to get some TSP, and on the box it says it is NOT recommended for using with glass. I wondered why, so I googled it. Evidently, TSP leaves a film on glass.
Have you experienced the film on glasses while using it with your dishwasher??
