Trisodium Phosphate smells like... ammonia?

[AJ Dual]

Is there any kind of chemical reaction or decomposition within the bucket of TSP powder/crystals I use occasionally to boost my dishwasher, or get oil/food stains out of my dress shirts in the laundry that could cause it to release a strong ammonia-like odor?   

Or were my kids just farting around and spilled a bunch of Windex into it or similar?

Na3PO4, unless you're an alchemist it will not turn into ammonia on its own. Either something got spilled into, cat used it as a litter box, or you need room change your kid's diet.

Kind of what I figured. I'm going to go with the Windex theory.

Or maybe the guy in charge of the recipe was a bit nearsighted...couldn't tell the difference between "a" and "H."

Was it really trisodium phosphate, or is it maybe TSP® brand of phosphate-free alkali cleaner?     Still shouldn't have ammonia in it; I think someone peed on it (most likely a cat)

Does anyone have tips on where to buy real TSP?

I've been using this,
http://www.lowes.com/Search=tsp?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=tsp#!

Its not real?

The link doesn't work for me. Internal server error.

[bedlamite]

link doesn't work. The green box that says phosphate free is the fake stuff. Real TSP comes in a red box.

The red box is what I unsuccessfully linked to. Thanks for clarifying.

Any hardware that sells paint. Well at least where I  live you can.

[280plus]

Yup, hardware stores usually. Some states are banning it last I knew

Thanks to this thread, I just picked some up at Lowes, and it was in the paint section.
