To "wash one's hands" of a situation (or in this case a person) is to end your association and have nothing more to do with it. If you "washed your hands" of someone, it would mean that you renounced them, and absolved yourself of any further involvement with the person or their problems.
This is nominally based on the actions of Pontius Pilate, who (according to Biblical accounts) washed his hands after essentially condemning Jesus to death by declining to free him.
