I make my own laundry soap would trisodium phosphate make it work better?

I make my own laundry soap that uses, Borax, Super Washing Soda, and a bar of Fels-Naphta it makes quite a bit of laundry soap. However I've been reading into phosphates and wondered if I made the same thing and Added Trisodium phosphate to the same mix would the soap work better? TSP is a Base. Borax Is a 9 so that makes it a Base Super Washing Soda is an 11 so it's a stronger Base than the Borax the TSP is 12

    I've actually added TSP to the regular Duggers recipe. it worked fine but it didn't set up like normal. And I didn't see a difference between the TSP stuff and the Regular recipe. Just make it normally. Save the TSP for preparing to paint.
