Lost my liquid Tide original scent measuring cup?

Rinsed the darn thing out and apparently hid it from myself for some strange reason. Can someone tell me the measurements for lines 1, 2,3. Hate to just guess since it's so pricey. Thanks a bunch

Update:

I didn't realize my question was mis catigorized. I had previewed and edited it to the correct catagory in cleaning and laundry, but aparently it reset to Science with out my knowledge. Instead of giving a rude answer, a simple suggestion to repost in the proper catagory would have been appreciated. Thanks to those that tried. Found my cap in the dryer, and found out 1/4 of a cup is plenty. Thanks for those that tried

    Try the manufacturer's website. Or just learn to estimate. Use some other measuring cup and see what level looks about right. Or maybe even see if it's printed on the container.

    Just for those who might still be looking at this question today: Best way to measure what the fill to line 1 is on any detergent is to divide the total number of ounces by loads the bottle claims; for example, my bottle of Tide original 150 oz is good for 96 loads. Therefore, it takes about 1.56 oz to hit the fill line 1, which is about 1/5 of a cup or 3 tablespoons. Add roughly 1 tbsp per additional line, I measured this into my own Tide cup with an old set of measuring spoons to check. It s not exact but pretty close.

    So in short, for Tide original:

    1/5 of a cup / 3 TBSP = line 1

    1/4 of a cup / 4 TBSP = line 2

    1/3 of a cup / 5 TBSP = line 3

    ^ approximations, but close enough so you re not too wasteful, hope it helps.

    The shoppers that pronounced throwing the cup interior the device are fairly stunning! I regularly purely degree my detergent, pour it around the washer so it somewhat is dispensed fairly even and then drop the cup in with the laundry. i've got even forgotten to pull it out earlier throwing the burden interior the dryer and not in any respect had any issues. nicely, aside from finding with the aid of each and all the socks to purpose and discover my lacking cup!

    Buy another bottle of the stuff. It will not go to waste.
