Many years ago--in the olden days when I started fishkeeping--before there were gravel cleaners, all we did was hand stir the gravel & take out 1/2 the water.

Why not? Just stir & remove 1/2 the water. I still do that on some of my larger tanks & we all do that with sand substrates. The tank gets pretty murky but the fish doesn't mind. Clears up pretty quickly.
