There are a few industrial detergents which haven't been reformulated (or at least not noticeably). Alcojet [0] does a fantastic job in the dishwasher... but I don't recommend it in the laundry. Turns out modern dyes are colorfast against a lot of things, but not this stuff! It is rather expensive, but for irregular use (machine-cleaning or special-stain problems), that's not an issue.
And, yes, it's loaded with trisodium phosphate.

- jcampbell1 4y agoAlcojet has bleach. Adding phosphates to dishwasher powder ends up at the same place except my generic Target powder has sodium percarbonate (oxyclean) instead of chlorine. Alcojet uses a shit ton of STPP, MSDS says 25-41% by weight. I have been mixing closer to 10%. Also Alcojet is STPP not TSP. TSP is as alkaline as lye.
