Hmm wasn't the causative-passive verb supposed to be conjugated as 洗わせられます?

Both forms are acceptable.  洗わされる is a contracted form of 洗わせられる, and is used more commonly in conversation. Thanks for pointing it out though, I'll update the dictionary to include both forms when I get a chance.

Reference: hinative
