[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

Linda;
When you put the cup in the soap, how do you prevent the soap that gets on the sides from dripping on the floor, or anywhere between the container and the washer?

I learned at my rehabilitation program to put all pouring things into a container that I can scoop it from. They taught us to put our condiments, such as Katsup, or salad dressings, into a container and then use a spoon or other kind of thing to get what we need. It makes it much easier and very tidy. This is what I would do with any pourable liquids such as soaps, bubble bath, etc.  We do our laundry soap by dipping the 1/2 cup measure into it, nice a neat and no spills or drips. The, we put the lid back on the
5 gallon bucket, very snug, for keeping it safe till we use it next time.
