General speaking, when it comes to risk management of biological agents, the models are typically not quantitative. If you run a biosafety lab, for example, it is expected to be as close to zero risk as possible. The categories you deal with are usually qualitative in nature, e.g., high vs low risk, rather than precisely quantified, which, in many cases is simply not possible.

For personal care products, including soap, there are regulatory standards in terms of bacterial counts that have to be met. Because of the precise definitions, laundry does not fall under that category, but considering that laundry is in close contact with skin, it is a plausible risk. 

We're basically saying the same thing in different wording, thus I don't disagree.
