How about TSP? No odor. Rinses off with water. No solvents into the
atmosphere. The only objection I know of is it promotes algae growth in the
sewers.

IIRC it'll wreck your skin if you get contact with it. And play
hell with the chemistry at the town sewer plant. That's why they
developed substitutes that (mostly) replace it.

Same thing with certain nasty solvents like Methyl Ethyl Ketone and
Carbon Tetrachloride.
