39 Melachot,
includes washing or
bleaching a garment in any manner,
and also includes removing any spot or stain from clothing.
Wringing out a wet garment also falls under this heading.

Most of this information is taken
from the book "SABBATH Day of Eternity"
by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, published by NCSY.
In the book itself, there are notes that refer the
reader to detailed footnotes.
I am lucky to have found such a clear, concise manual
with these brief overviews of laws so vast and complex
there are Rabbis that specialize in them.
