EDIT: I’ve received enough help to get a washing machine now and will have it on Tuesday. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I’m not having much luck with my mutual aid request for a new washing machine. I’m finding it impossible to wash my clothes by hand. I have very little use of my left arm, as well as issues with my hands. I’m finding i just can’t wring the clothes out by hand, which means i can’t get the laundry disinfectant I have to use, out properly. They’re being left itchy and smelly. Does anyone have any good tips on dealing with this?

    I also wash my clothes by hand, I’ll experiment and see if I can’t find a method that could work for you, I’m thinking laying them out on a dish drying rack or oven rack (or similar) and then running something like a rolling pin or a glass over them to wring them out, I imagine it would be fairly slow going, but better than nothing, I’ll let you know how well it works in a couple of hours after I’ve tested it.
