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?
When I was a kid and lived in poor rural Tennessee one trick was to get a mop bucket where you can squeeze the water out of the mop but just use that for the clothes.
Also the general method was to use the bathtub. Fill it with warm water and some detergent throw in the clothes agitate a little and let them soak. drain the water and fill with cold water agitate and drain. Sometimes do that three times or whatever.
