I never use the cups lol just pour away . ?

They just have an awful storage smell to them so I'm slowly rehashing everything.

They were all stored in garbage bags because I have way too many things and didn't have enough boxes.

How are you storing the clothes? If they were clean when you stored them I wouldn't re wash the same way you wash when they are dirty.

Probably just wash with a tiny bit of detergent or none. And the regular amount of fabric softener so they smell fresh.

I just measured mine out for you - the highest level on mine went just a little over 1/3 cup.

I have Downy Free & Gentle

I've been kind of holding it above the washer and going around with it in like 2 circles. Right now though we have to be kind of frugal for 3 weeks meaning I have to use the least possible amount of my soap to get the job done cause I have to re wash everything in my house because it was in storage for 2 weeks. I don't have enough soap to do that but I'm hoping I can get away with quite a bit if I measure properly. Lol. ??

Same as PP. I never measure, I just eyeball it & dump it in.

I never measure. My cups keep disappearing, I just pour some in...
