You can actually get a replacement lid for your toilet that turns it into a sink.

You do your thing in the bowl. Lower the lid. Flush. Then as the tank refills you wash your hands with the clean water filling the tank.

[like this](https://www.amazon.ca/SinkPositive-GreenFlow-Toilet-Tank-Faucet/dp/B0BYLKF4T5/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3MLWN7H2FQWJF&keywords=toilet+sink+lid&qid=1695605454&sprefix=toilet+sink+lid%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.b06bdbbe-20fd-4ebc-88cf-fa04f1ca0da8https://www.amazon.ca/SinkPositive-GreenFlow-Toilet-Tank-Faucet/dp/B0BYLKF4T5/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3MLWN7H2FQWJF&keywords=toilet+sink+lid&qid=1695605454&sprefix=toilet+sink+lid%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.b06bdbbe-20fd-4ebc-88cf-fa04f1ca0da8)
