She shows off how sticky it is with a coat of blue, soapy liquid all over it.
“I had no idea you could drop them in your washing machine and wash them with your clothes!” she says.

At the end of the clip, she pulls it out to show how clean it is without any visible residue or stickiness.

Rinsing laundry cups can take quite a bit of time since they tend to bubble up for what feels like forever.
The process of hand-rinsing them also leads to sticky spillage onto your hands.
Washing the laundry cups with your clothing is a simple solution to avoid all of that.
A few people have responded to the video in Shannon’s comment section.
One woman wrote: “Love this hack. I do this every time. Except sometimes I forget I threw it in and it goes through the dryer too.”
“I would [also] clean it out with the water for the washing machine,” someone else said.
