It is packaged as a supersaturated solution, and you must shake well, before placing it into smaller bottles or mixing the working solution. The working solution will become perfectly clear within a half hour. Parts of the cloudy precipitation may be a beige color - This is harmless. That is from the tech sheet..... I guess we are all aiming at the same solution... shake, use distilled water, mix well, filter it using a coffee filter if you wish, keep it pretty warm. I use TF-4 all the time and have none of the white spots. My water being different than yours, it could be particulates in the water. Distilled water will take care of that, but the wash is still tap water. You may need to use a in line filter. Keep us posted..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
