There is two pronunciation (文白異讀) for 使:
文讀: si2 (same as 史)
白讀: sai2 (same as 洗)
Written Cantonese is not standardized and some people do not know about 文白異讀 and think sai2 is not the same 漢字 as si2, therefore use 洗 instead (あて字).
Note that in one case using 洗 instead of 使 may cause ambiguity.
使錢 means to spend money
洗錢 means money laundering (crime)
追記:there is third pronunciation (si3) but the sense (meaning) is slightly different so is not relevant here
