capfuls

Small liquid amounts

Capfuls is the plural of capful, meaning the amount a cap can hold.

Capful refers specifically to a bottle cap used as a rough measure for liquids: Add two capfuls of detergent to the wash.

The measurement is imprecise but practical for household products like bleach, mouthwash, or fabric softener.
