Back in August of 2013, when Cascade Institutional (a formula geared towards Food Service use, and phosphate laden) was discontinued, a new product, came out from nowhere.
Cascade "Professional" Fryer Boil Out - And what really strikes me, is the formula for this *new* product.
For Comparison Sake, here is a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the new product.

and here is one, for Cascade Professional. Be sure to scroll all the way, to the bottom.

Hmmm... Notice something similar?
It would appear to me, in quiet, P&G realized, they'd lose a market, that really isn't a problem for them. No one is gonna ban Phosphate Based, Fryer Cleaning products. And if they did, they'd get an earful from people, who actually have to clean them.
So, since dishwasher based formulas, are banned, they took their "multi-use" product, and simply repackaged it. Now, they can skirt the ban, and still sell to the market they always had...
I'm not quite, sure, they would want purchasers, to use this though, for dishwasher detergent. But I don't see a reason not too. It's the same formula (from what I can tell), and I'd bet, it'd leave Dishes, "Virtually Spotless" like always :)

It's not TSP it's STTP that you add. TSP is used with painting, etc. STTP is used with detergents and is not as hard on your items as TSP is. 1 tsp per load does the trick. But even though it works well, I have found it's still best to use a DW detergent with phosphates in it from the factory. If you can still find any. |

With any of the newer dishwasher detergents, new ingredients have been introduced, to replace what the Phosphates used to do. One of the main ones, being "Sodium Citrate" or "Citric Acid", and what this does, is soften water, but at the same time, kill the alikainty. This is not a good thing. Basically, the ingredient, that makes the water softer in your dishwasher, goes around, screwing up the rest of the detergent, and, even with Phosphates added, the phosphates & other ingredients, are never able to reach full performance.
It really is kinda a crap shoot. I mean, on one hand, you can keep limescale buildup at bay, at the expense of full enzyme (food dissolving power) performance, or you can leave out the citrates, and get a great clean, at the expense of cloudy or spotted glasses. Phosphate Detergents, imo, give the best of both worlds, at no sacrifice of the dishwasher performance itself. |

Thanks Mich! I looked up the ingredients on wiki and doing a quick skim I missread and thought it said it was a salt. Now I know... Thanks again. |

but I don't know so. I read it on this site, but I didn't bookmark, it and now I can't find it. The topic was phosphates, dishwashers and the f. boil out. |
