Pure Original Ingredients Sodium Tripolyphosphate Powerful Cleaning Agent, Water Softener, Laundry Additive (8 Ounce)

Quality product, a small amount in the dishwasher or washer makes a big difference in getting dishes and clothes cleaner.

I’ve been using the Pure Original Ingredients Sodium Tripolyphosphate in my laundry, and it’s truly brought back that 1970s-level clean to my clothes! Adding this powerful cleaning agent to my detergent has noticeably improved the freshness and cleanliness of my laundry. My clothes feel cleaner, brighter, and have that fresh, crisp feel that I remember from the past. One thing to note, though, is that the instructions aren’t super clear, so it’s a bit of a trial and error process to figure out the right amount to use for your laundry load. But once I found the right balance, the results were definitely worth it. It works great as a water softener too, which helps with detergent effectiveness. I’ve noticed that the combination of this with my regular detergent really gets rid of stubborn stains and gives my laundry that deep, thorough clean. The 2.5 lb size is a good value, and you don’t need to use a lot, so it’ll last for a while. Overall, I highly recommend this if you're looking to improve your laundry game and get that deep clean we used to get in the past.

This really helps you laundry and dishwasher detergent work better especially if you have hard water.

A while back, a bunch of misguided regulation led to this substance being removed from dishwasher powder. Immediately everyone was freaking out because they thought their dishwasher was broken: weird white residues, nothing gets clean, can't figure out what's going on. To this day, dishwashers literally don't work as well as they used to because of this stuff being taken out of the detergent. It's not a banned chemical or anything. It doesn't even have a good reason to be regulated out of common household soaps: TPP isn't the phosphate that causes the algal bloom 'pollution' that the change was meant to fix. You could pour a whole box of this stuff into a pond and it would not be polluted. But your dishwasher would still suck. For a while you could buy "fryer boil-out" products that were, in reality, just the good kind of dishwasher powder. But apparently that got banned, too, and the manufacturer no longer offers it. There's a solution, though, and it's a solution people were using shortly after the law changed: just add the missing ingredient. Buy a box of normal, non-weird dishwasher powder—if you can find one, everything seems to have gone to these disgusting "pods" things—then pour it out into a bucket. Put a scoop of TPP into the bucket. Mix the powders together so they're kind of evenly distributed. Use the contents of that bucket when you run your dishwasher. BAM! Your dishwasher works like it did when dishwashers still washed dishes. Amazing stuff!

Try washing a previously washed item in a white bucket... the dirty water says it all! This stuff works. It unlocks the dirt from our clothing! A tablespoon in my hand wash load released a murky brown water! Gross. The laundry soaps they market these days don't wash our clothes. It's missing this (natural!) element. Just like everything else... the powers that be take away what works and gives us lousy alternatives. Buy this. Add a Tablespoon to your dishwasher. Add a few Ts to a 1/4 C to your wash load. Get clean.

Appears to work as desired for laundry.

Very nice packaging. Easy open and reseals well. Product good quality.

Great laundry additive for softening water and allowing detergents to more effectively clean. Small amount is recommended and does the job well. This used to be put in most detergents but was taken out due to creating algae blooms. Does not cause skin irritation but I utilize a second rinse cycle. The product has lasted over 4 months and is a great value. Bag is simple yet durable, no need to have it look like a name brand and pay for the marketing. The powder looks very fine and is not sticky nor does it cause a residue to build up in the machine.

Excellent for making food
