DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT - DETERGENT LAUNDRY CUPS

 
Below is an excerpt from an article on TIP HERO website.

ARTICLE EXCERPT:
Sometimes these messes are caused by, well, the very products we use to keep our homes clean. Take laundry detergent, for example. If you like to save money (don’t we all?) you probably purchase a bulk-size laundry detergent. That probably also means that no matter how much effort you put into keeping your laundry room clean, there is an unsightly laundry detergent cup somewhere in that room.
These large size laundry detergent bottles come with a convenient cup that we can use to measure out the correct amount of detergent, but some of the detergent lingers inside the cup after we pour it in the washer.
It doesn’t help that the laundry detergent is often a dark blue color. If the detergent were a clear color, it would still coat the cup, but at least it wouldn’t look so messy.
If you have one of these blue-coated laundry detergent cups in your laundry room, we have some very good news. It turns out that there is a super easy way to clean it, and if we had been paying closer attention, we would’ve known this all along.
How do you clean the laundry detergent cup? Printed right on the bottom of the cup, it clearly states that you can wash it with soap and water (duh) or you can toss it in your washing machine! That’s right. After pouring the laundry detergent in the washer, you can toss the cup right inside the machine along with your clothes!
All major laundry detergent and fabric softener brands include these machine washable measuring cups. If you’re not sure, just read the text on the bottom of the cup. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised.

NOTE: I've been doing this for decades - just can't stand those messy looking cups.  Your machine can 'bend' them a little out of shape, or you can lose one.  Therefore, I keep a couple of old ones in stock for just those occasions.
