JJust because your clothing seem and smell clean after they've been through the washer and dryer doesn't imply they're actually clean.
Washing machines have been found to contain as many as 100 million units of E.coli, a potentially hazardous bacteria that can cause illness both within and outside the digestive tract, according to several studies.
Washing your clothes in a polluted machine exposes them to the bacteria, which can make the wearer sick.

Germs in Washing Machines: The Dirty Truth.
Laundry detergent, contrary to popular perception, does not eliminate dangerous germs and viruses.
Almost all regular laundry detergents, whether liquid, powder, or tablet form, are useless at killing bacteria.
Adding extra detergent in the hopes of getting cleaner garments can exacerbate the problem by encouraging mold and mildew growth.
So, who or what is to blame for the dirty washing machine phenomenon?
According to researchers, the tiniest garment – underwear – is the most problematic.
Dirty underwear includes bacteria that can spread to other garments in the washing machine, which is something most people don't like to worry about.
Garments containing food scraps may also aid in the spread of germs in the washing machine.
Food service workers may throw their apron or work uniform in the laundry, exposing other items to bacteria-ridden food particles.
How to Get Bacteria and Viruses Out of Washing Machines.
Cold water, while more energy efficient, will not efficiently destroy bacteria.
To kill germs and viruses, the water temperature inside a washing machine must reach 140-150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add a small amount of chlorine bleach to white-colored items when washing to eradicate any harmful microorganisms.
Colorox2 is a potent stain and germ remover that is safe to use on colored clothing.
Using no textiles or garments, wash your washing machine on a regular basis with warm water and bleach.
Underwear should not be washed with other clothes.
Instead of using the dryer, try hanging your items to dry. Any bacteria on your clothes will be rapidly killed by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
