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?
For improved rinsing and agitation there are tools for people with arthritis like this: https://wringmaster-com.myshopify.com/cdn/shop/products/3-3_530x@2x.jpg
Used against a collander or bucket with holes that may assist in removing excess water.
Washboards normally require two hands, although you could modify one by tying the end you’re supposed to hold to an anchor if you have one. They are the other big tool for getting water in and out for effective cleaning and rinsing.
Wringing laundry out requires tools. Options since Emma’s are not what you’re looking for:
A quickgrip clamp clamped down, clamp the clamped clamp to one end of your clothing article. Use another quick grip clamp on the other end as a lever to twist more easily, if you mount it on a wheel of some kind it’d be easier
old style double roller. Probably hard to make yourself, estate sales? Old people in your community might have one lying around.
