If this is the case, you can use a seasoning container to make a detergent bottle for a partial table. It is small and fits comfortably in one hand.
Wash once more before disposing detergent container
Detergents are usually in a box. It is common to lean this box when pouring detergents.

But there is still some detergent left enough to use for laundry once more. The inside of the detergent box absorbs much of the detergent and especially detergents which are water-soluble are attached a lot. So, if you pour hot water into the box and shake it, it will be enough to do laundry once more. It is more reasonable as it can also save detergents.

People generally put laundry in the detergent solution before doing laundry. But putting the laundry in solution too long will only make stains to permeate in the solution, thereby deteriorating washability. Also, detergents generally include bleachers, so colored or patterned clothes may get bleached so be cautious. Individual laundry soaking in water is enough to be done for 1-2 hours.
