Cleaning Tips

I am looking for a couple of toxic items. Nasty stuff anyway.

I am looking for a couple of nasty, toxic items.

I want to find some phosphoric acid to make a custom fertilizer.

I want some sulfuric acid to treat some cantankerous native grass seed.

I once worked in a laboratory where these items were commonplace and handled them daily. Both items could once be found in the cleaning sections of hardware stores. I haven't seen them in recent years. Any suggestions?
