I don't travel light by ANY means, but if I didn't wash clothes pretty much every night of a trip I'd have to carry at least one more suitcase. Five outfits (total for day and evening) plus two sets of running clothes are pretty much my limit. Shoes and electronics take up enough non-negotiable space!

Once you've squeezed (not wrung) as much water as possible out of something, lay it flat on a bath towel, fold the edges over it, roll it up tight and squeeze HARD. Kneel on it and shuffle your knees around until you've squeezed the whole thing. That's as effective as a spin cycle.

Shampoo (without conditioner mixed in) makes a great laundry detergent. Though, if you use too much, the hotel might stop refilling ...
