I know you asked about using TSP.... here is the answer from Bonsai President, Mike Ciavatteri<br /> <br />"TSP is a reasonable substitute for bleach as it lacks any phosphates.<br /><br />However, since soap and water is equally effective and contains even less chemicals - you may wish to stick with it instead.<br /><br />Either is fine.

"Mold" has become such a big buzz word; you hear that you have it in your home and freak!

In fact, the Council on Aging at that time supplied the Seniors with gallons of bleach for that purpose.<br /><br />I am sure that this other information is probably true about porous surfaces such as wood, drywall, plaster and other kinds of surfaces.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Good to keep up to date with the times.Milonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056245040474005732.post-20471238920679106872011-02-25T13:01:34.744-05:002011-02-25T13:01:34.744-05:00One of my first go-tos is bleach too.
