Wouldn’t the heat and chemicals kill off most of these? Isn’t the point of washing clothes to get rid of this kind of stuff? I’m not sure I want the answer to

Isn’t the point of washing clothes to get rid of this kind of stuff?
I’m not sure I want the answer to these questions, maybe ignorance is bliss.
- downvotetruth 3y agoThe dryer heat should, but realize that the surface of the machines like the handles are separate.

- op00to 3y agoIf shared laundry were a significant vector of transmissible diseases, it would be pretty damn obvious. Can fungus grow in your washer? Sure. My washing machine growing up as a kid was gross and my clothes constantly stunk because of my family's inability to take wet laundry out of the washer. Then I went away to college, the machines were maintained, I'm not a moron and can handle getting clothes out of the washer when they're done, and my clothes no longer stunk. Wash your clothes with detergent (no, you don't even need hot water), dry them promptly, and you will be fine. Use a hot air dryer instead of line drying if you're really worried.
