Makes me think of powdered Spic N Span..that I think originally contained TSP in the formula?
I always have some TSP on hand, as it comes in useful for a few things, but deserves some caution, and respect..its why I don't recommend anyone using it for home laundry.
I hate cleaning with gloves, so I don't use them but if TSP is in use.. I ware them.
Some years back when working in pro laundry and dry cleaning we had TSP but it was rarely used. And when it was used, it was only used as a presoak. About 1 or 2 Tbls was used in warm to hot water. Items were soaked for 15 min only, then machine dumped, spin rinsed, and normal cycle was started with detergent, a soured rinse, then normal rinse.
As I recall there was a elderly customer that brought in nasty sheets Obviously not changed often enough, so bedding had a racid smell and body oil. The TSP did a good job of breaking that loose first Then normal process followed. Any blood spots were treated first with Aqua ammonia.
Recently I had a greasy pan that I need to clean, so I filled the pan with hot water and detergent and added 1 tsp of TSP soaked for 10 min the poured out. Most everything was gone, just a light cleaning and good rinsing, pan was spotless without scrubbing.
Back to the water test..I'm still puzzled why well water spring water remainded,clear with TSP.
If I got cloudy water with tap water and washing soda, I was sure it get cloudyness with well water and TSP
