Can anybody recommend a wash basket?

[Bigboyuk]

Phil this is seriously getting out of control now (I know MH services are a bit sparse where you live so understand) One question if the old wash basket is made of recyclable material why was it not just left out side for collection? We are constantly on a daily basis touching things so based on that we would all be contaminated, and become ill but actually we don't become ill I mean you could get a pack of disposable gloves have you thought of this not sure if it would eleviate some of your concerns though. your condition wont get any better till you find some proper help I also know you have tried so hard. try contacting disability solutions they may be able to help in some way ATB

Update:

The wash basket is in the bin getting a new one however my girlfriend put a bag in the wheelie bin same bin the basket is in now I’m worried the gate, outside and inside door handle is contaminated.

She said she just touched the bin lid but she wasn’t able to wash her hands before closing the front door.

I’m now worried I have to wash my hands after touching doors and gates due to this as I had to wash my hands after opening windows since the window fitter moved my wash basket a few months back..

It’s hard to relax about it despite her not touching the basket the inside of the bin is contaminated by the basket..

Realistically Phil the out side bin would be full of germs any way after all it is a bin so the basket going in to the bin isn't going to make it any worse just because a washing basket is in there go figure? ATB

Respectfully, one read through the OP's history will show you the challenges and futility of reason. Sadly, it's why I stopped responding a long time ago.

I do wish the OP healing so he can actually live as opposed to exist in this constant state of distress.

I never put the basket out as it would have touched the ground or maybe areas of the garden so wanted it away.

Sadly I may feel the door handle is contaminated now. I struggle with it as unlike many other ocd suffers cleaning it doesn’t make me feel any better. I could bleach handles and it still wouldn’t feel new anymore and would feel contaminated.

I’m not sure the germs trouble me not sure what it is. I just see it as contaminated or dirty

I can only say moving house will only help in the short time and wont be a long term solution and it will only be a matter of time before the dreaded cycle comes round again. It's professional help you need with out that you wont get better sorry but that's how it is. ATB
