Wringer (6)

I believe the answer is:

mangle

(Other definitions for mangle that I've seen before include "Squelchy washing squasher" , "Old-fashioned laundry appliance" , "Machine that uses rollers to press" , "Clothes-wringer for leg-man" , "Severely mutilate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
