Wash tub and load of laundry

Moved to Willow tree to give it my left over wash water as I go
I washed two loads of clothes in a bin in the bathtub. First I put Molly's Suds detergent in the tub, filled with cold water, then let the clothes soak for 10 min. I agitated the clothes so as to get them clean. Then I filled the tub with clean water, rinsed & wrung them out, and laid on a drying rack.
First load - 5 pairs of shorts, workout pants, collared shirt, hat, 2 pair undies, 2 pair socks, 2 pair undershirts, workout bra
Second load - jeans, capris, shorts, pajama pants, 2 t-shirts
By the way, I found out that putting a dehumdifier in the same room while they were drying sped up the drying time greatly!
Today was really sunny and warm, so I figured it would be perfect for doing some laundry. I don’t currently have a manual washing machine, so I had to use the bathtub.Here’s what I washed:
4 shirts
1 pair of shorts
1 pajama shirt
1 pajama shorts
2 towels
1 pillowcase
Multiple socks and underwear
