The TSP runs had the most amount of goop floating in 'em FWIW. Methinks it needs a second treatment but it is a definite improvement...
You're not gonna get TSP runs, are you...?
!!! Yeah, my mind thought that way when I was typing it out but I left it as-is...

How about some ratios...
I used about two tablespoons of citric acid in a carafeful of water (next time I might make it three or four, it didn't seem very potent). I ran the solution through it two or three times in an attempt to make up for the apparently weaker solution. Then again, our water here is VERY soft and probably even a tad acidic anyway; there's never any lime buildup.
As for the TSP- I used about three tablespoons to a carafeful, this time replacing the solution on each run because it was obviously doing some cleaning.
