Use a known weight of detergent in a known volume of water....i.e. one gram dissolves in 500 ccs of water, then reduce the volume of water and continue to the smallest quantity of liquid that can absorb the gram of detergent and extrapolate it...ie. 493 grams will be dissolved in 900 ccs of water at normal conditions.

Maybe,you can used water as solvent in your experiment.Remember one factor that affects the solubility of a substance is depend on the nature of solute and solvent with a rule"like dissolves like" which substance tend to dissolve in one another.Since water is a polar molecule and possibly detergents is polar molecule since it is soluble in water.
Therefore detergents dissolved in a polar molecule substance only.So with the non-polar molecule.
