• a. removing said cap from said container containing said detergent composition, wherein said detergent composition comprises a hydrophilic surfactant system having a Hydrophilic Index of from about HI 9-15, wherein said hydrophilic surfactant system comprises a cationic surfactant, wherein said cationic surfactant comprises amine oxide;
• and
• wherein said cap comprises:
• i) a base having a base interior and a base exterior opposing said base interior, said base interior having a periphery;
• and
• ii) a vessel wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface opposing said interior surface, said vessel wall extending from said periphery to a rim, said interior surface and said base interior defining a pour volume, said base interior forming a closed end of said pour volume;
• wherein:
• said cap is sealingly engaged to a container containing said detergent composition by a connector disposed on said cap and a corresponding receiver disposed on an opening of said container;
• said pour volume is sized and dimensioned to provide for a unit dose of said detergent composition;
• said cap further comprises a plurality of first surface irregularities at a location selected from the group consisting of:
• on said rim, on said base exterior, between said connector disposed on said cap and said rim, and combinations thereof;
• and
• said cap further comprises a plurality of second surface irregularities at a location selected from the group consisting of:
• on said base exterior, on said exterior surface, and combinations thereof;
• b. pouring a volume of said detergent composition in neat form from said container into said cap;
• c. applying at least a portion of said volume to said greasy stain;
• d. scrubbing said greasy stain with a portion of said cap, wherein said portion comprises said first surface irregularities, said second surface irregularities, or a combination thereof;
• e. adding at least a portion of said detergent in neat form to an aqueous bath to form a wash liquor in which the detergent is in diluted form;
• and
• f. washing said fabric in said wash liquor after scrubbing said greasy stain with said portion of said cap.
