Hangers with those hooks on the sides that I guess are meant to slip the collar of the shirts into? They don't really serve as a good use plus they seem to get tangled with other hangers at times and hang securely anyways. I've seen better hangers at work where there is a strip of some rubber compound on the top sides of each hanger, they hold things much better and I feel that's the more better of the design for a hanger.

those hooks are perfect for hanging two t shirts on, or a zippered/buttoned clothing, or even skirts
I have no idea if you're a man or a woman, but I'm guessing based on your comment, you're a man? You're talking about those hooks/ indents like halfway between the hook and the end of the hanger? I think those are a lot more useful on women's clothes, which tend to have much wider necks which means they just slip right off hangers. The hooks help wide neck blouses and jackets stay on the hangers, and they're especially useful for tank top or spaghetti strap type tops and dresses.

Iβm incredibly confused about how youβre supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap.
You just gave me a stupid idea. First measure out the exact volume of detergent you need for one load - eyeballing it I'd guess 20mL (I'm notoriously terrible at eyeballing volume, so, grain of salt) - then get a 20mL syringe and some IV tubing (it's got one-way valves, so when you connect a syringe to it and draw up, it pulls from on side of the line; then when you depress the syringe back down, it goes out the other side). Tie something heavy to the intake side of the line and throw it in the bucket of detergent. Run the other side of the line to just above the detergent receptacle if your machine has one; or near the door for you to just aim it.
Load clothes; pull syringe, push syringe, close the door, run the machine. No detergent dripping all over the place!

...detergent is probably too viscous as-is to go through IV tubing at an acceptable rate, so you'd probably have to dilute it with water first to thin it out, then adjust the amount you pull accordingly.
The pumps they sell for coffee syrup dispensers maybe.
Also they sell non-medical syringes for general use.
Ooh, that would for sure handle viscosity better than IV tubing. Good call!

The cap is a scam, it used to be the size of a soda bottles; now it's a literal cup.
you don't need to measure laundry liquid anyway,
just put the absolute minimum amount you can pour from the bottle directly in the machine and do 2 or 3 loads.
