Gross liquid detergent cups can be eliminated using this simple trick

This is a staged photo.  My relative wouldn't let me take a photo of her filthy detergent cup.

The other day I saw a relative's liquid detergent cup covered in dried liquid detergent and tipped over.  I asked her what was going on with the detergent cup?  She said she tried cleaning it once in the kitchen sink and the bubbles wouldn't stop.  So she doesn't bother rinsing it out anymore.  I suggested that she try what I do.  I put the cup in my washing machine with a batch of clothes.  The light bulb went on above her head!
Helpful hint: Be sure to remove the cup after the wash cycle or it will clank in the clothes dryer.

Scorched Pan Remedy

I scorched the bottom of my stock pot last night.  Instead of scrubbing the bottom of the pot until my elbows hurt, I used  a little dish washer detergent. 
Here's how:
  1. Cover the scorched area with dish washer detergent.  Make sure it is an enzyme based formula as chlorine detergents won't do the job.
  2. Allow to sit for several hours or over night.
  3. Wash pot by hand. 
You will be amazed how easily the scorched food washes away.
