Spic n Span. Having a hard time finding

Is liquid Spic and Span an option? I haven't seen the powdered product in ages around here.

Not sure if I should have but Dawn dish liquid worked great for me

I bought some at Orchard supply hardware store.

Thank you, @Bill & Kate, for the update on Spic 'n' Span's new formulation.

I have seen so called experts with RVs recommend Tide and warm water as the best solution to cleaning a roof.

Not sure they were experts or how much phosphates are in it comparatively but that was my plan. Their other advise seemed spot on but going to check my manual and see if it has any suggestions.

Lots of good info. Thanks guys.

It hasn't contained TSP (or other phosphates) for years Spic N Span Ingredients - that's why I don't think it cleans as well as it used too.

You can still get TSP in some states, but it does need to be kept out of the storm sewers - most modern sewer plants can deal with it ....

Here in New Jersey, you have to have a state license to apply most phosphorous fertilizers - Scotts and all that big box stuff is now phosphate free .....

It's not sold in some states due to it's high phosphate concentration. We get ours in the local Ace Hardware. I used to put thousands of times the Spic-N-Span phosphorous when applying farm fertilizer.

Spic and Span has fallen upon the shoals of environmental disfavor. It is simply trisodium phosphate, aka TSP, and since phosphate is an undesirable pollutant to the nations rivers and estuaries, there has been a big push to eliminate phosphates as much as possible from the waste water stream.

TSP is still available, it hasn't been completely outlawed, it is just hard to find. As long as you are washing something like a trailer roof, and as long as the wash and rinse waters are going onto your lawn, and not down the drain to some sewage treatment plant, you are more or less ok. The lawn will like the fertilizer and will probably keep most of the phosphate out of the waterways. Unless, of course, you dump tons of fertilizer on the lawn independently of the trailer wash.

Living in Avon, OH, you may know of the days when Lake Erie had horrible algae problems. Much of that was due to phosphate pollution. It's elimination from washing products (among other steps that were taken) have done a good job making the lake much more pleasant.

If you can wait a few days, Amazon has it...
