the formula[edit]

[citation needed] all over this article, unable to read now

Phosphate free recepy, Trisodium phosphate and other formulas, what is this product?

When was TSP removed?[edit]

I have a partial box of Spic and Span, believed to have been manufactured by Procter & Gamble in the 1980s that lists trisodium phosphate as a component of the mixture. A newer box of Spic and Span bearing a copyright date of 2005, by the Spic and Span Company of Irvington, New York, a Prestige Brands Company, states in bold lettering on the box end, "CONTAINS NO PHOSPHATE", meaning that it does not contain trisodium phosphate. When was trisodium phosphate dropped from the formula? The article hints that this may have taken place sometime between 2001 and 2004, before the product was acquired by Prestige Brands. — Quicksilver (Hydrargyrum)^{T @} 15:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

I don't really see why a detailed etymology of the everyday English phrase "spick and span" is given here. That's not related to this product, except that the product borrowed the existing phrase for its name. 2A00:23C5:FE18:2700:15BC:2FFF:8AB7:2565 (talk) 23:55, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
