Do laundry in town: laundromat, trail-angels, motels.

You could rinse out clothes while hiking in some of the
bigger lakes/rivers but I wouldn't ever use any kind of
soap to do laundry in the backcountry.

BTW, it pays to spend some time rinsing out socks if you
can before tossing them in the laundry.  You'll be absolutely
appalled by the amount of dirt that is captured by your
socks but your laundry will be cleaner if your pre-rinse
the socks.
