Do you have a bath tub? If so, tip your dirty laundry in, (in separate batches and not more than you can hang up over your bathtub and dry afterwards. If you don't have an airer, (which is something no UK household lives without), rig up up some sort of makeshift line, made of anything suitable you can find... (strong string,.... pantyhose tied together.... just as suggestions).
Run water and add some detergent, or shampoo, or dish liquid. Get a good froth going. Roll up your pants to the knee (or take them off), and get in the tub on top of the clothes. After this you imagine yourself at an old time winery. Crush grapes! Tread them for all you are worth, up and down the tub, until they look cleaner and smell better. Let out the water. Refill the tub with clean, clear water, to rinse them. Let the water drain for a while, and then get squeezing/wringing, as hard as you can. Shake and hang up. If you are still using heating and have a rad in your bathroom, put it on to assist with the drying.
Does this sound random and eccentric? It's not, really. This is an emergency and it may be that nothing else is going to present itself as a solution. I hope it does, as this is not a lot of fun (especially the drying part), but it will work.
Do let us know when you find a solution 😊 Good luck!

I've done it before when I was broke and couldn't afford to launder them properly! Only I had a huge backyard and had laundry strewn across from one side to the other! It gets easier after you get those first 3 bags done! Because you'll NEVER let it get to be that much again! lol!
You'll also start to realize that there is no real reason for changing the outside clothes (shirt and pants) as often as the inside shell..(undies, bra, socks) and those are easily hand washed every other night or so.
Things will get back to normal before you know it! By then you'll have lovely biceps and forearms from all of that wringing out! If you purposefully make sure to bring your knees up to your hips (when you're stomping those grapes lol!) You will also be getting a great workout in!
See! Things to look forward to!
Good luck, stay healthy and safe!
