I was watching a film and I've just got this phrase, I think the context was just the girl's saying: do you wanna apologise?
I wonder if speaking like that is common in you country?
btw I quite like that sentence.
Please drop me some hints.

Presumably the girl means, from her tone of voice, that she isn't going to wash the clothes unless she gets an apology, but more context is needed. It would not be unusual in any country or in any language.

In the U.S., "Do you wanna (want to) apologize?" is an angry, hostile way of demanding an apology. It might be said in the middle of an argument, but it would be uncommon in polite conversation. "Do you want those washed?" has an entirely different meaning and tone. It's simply a neutral way of offering to wash clothes or some other item.
