To measure chemicals for use in a home improvement project or on your lawn and garden, don’t pour the potentially dangerous liquid into your kitchen measuring cup. Instead, use the measuring cup to pour water into a plastic milk jug or disposable cup, and mark each amount on the outside of the container with an indelible pen.

To use your homemade measuring cup, dump out the water and fill the container with the chemical to the level needed for your project. Watch this video to find out more.
