When your laundry detergent bottle is about empty, turn it over and stand it up on the cap. Leave it for a while, and you will most likely drain enough out of the bottom for at least one more load!

Good idea. I do that with ketchup,mustard,and mayo jars. Another thing is when you turn on your washng machine hold the bottle under the water if it isn't too big and fill about 1/4 full. Shake well and empty in machine. Sometimes I just add half and save the rest for another load.
I use powdered laundry detergent now, but in the US I preferred the liquid, and used to do this all the time-you are so right that you can get at least another load out of the bottle this way!
I also used to get the very last bit (the stuff that clung to the walls of the bottle) by doing what SueJaney does-holding the bottle under the water. That usually helped with yet another load:)
I always add half a bottle of water to my empty bottle. That sure does give me more than one wash. I live in a big building with a recycle room. I have taken great brands home and made myself free soap.
