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?

You dont need a drill to put a hole in a plastic bucket, it just makes it easier. You could melt the plastic a bit with a BBQ lighter to soften it (do it outside cause of fumes and cover for breathing bits) and then poke something through. It's not like you need precise hole sizes. You could probably score it with a knife and then pop it through as well.
