A question on English:

If I say, "I'll get the car washed this weekend," who does the cleaning, myself or someone else?

English is not my first language and your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Commonly it would mean you are having someone wash it, but you could mean you will get it done... meaning you will do it.

If you are having it done for you, say "I'm having the car washed this weekend".

If you are washing the car, say "I'm washing the care this weekend".
