TSP contains phosphate, exactly the substance which was recently removed
from dishwasher detergent...

Phosphates were removed from detergents years ago when they were linked
to algae bloom issues on rivers in the vicinity of sewage treatment
outlets. A load or two in a single dishwasher won't hurt anything.

hehe. Guy at work got me involved in Amway in the early '70's
Didn't last long.
Anyway, they had just banned phosphates in laundry detergent then, but
Amway still had one with phosphates.
Can't remember the details, but this guy thought Amway was real slick
in how they got around it.
Seems the soap companies found a substitute to get clothes clean.
They'll probably find one for dishwasher soap too.
