When I was a kid and lived in poor rural Tennessee one trick was to get a mop bucket where you can squeeze the water out of the mop but just use that for the clothes.
Also the general method was to use the bathtub. Fill it with warm water and some detergent throw in the clothes agitate a little and let them soak. drain the water and fill with cold water agitate and drain. Sometimes do that three times or whatever.
