were to find tsp (again)

From

Concentrated cleaner can be used for a wide range of cleaning and de-glossing applications. T.S.P. is recommended for cleaning walls and painted woodwork prior to repainting or for general cleaning of floors, walls and grimy surfaces. T.S.P. is an excellent cleaner to prepare most surfaces for patching or painting because it will dissolve grease, grime and surface oil deposits. In strong solution, T.S.P. can be used as a de-glossing agent to aid in wall preparation prior to repainting or installing wallcoverings.

When I was in the paint business, I always used to advise people to wash down the kitchen with TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) before repainting. I am pretty sure one of the brands is Dowman--also have things like spackle, plastic wood and brush cleaner.

I have found that many of the clerks at Home Depot know very little about what they are selling. I asked one of them for a tap, and he didn't know what it was.

Try a Sherwin Williams paint store. Look in the phone book. BTW, TSP is tri-sodium phosphate. Gary Brady Austin, TX

I tried the local Sherwin Williams store and found they only had washing soda in a box with TSP as the brand name.
