There is about a 10th of a gram of feces in the average pair of underwear

Some things just need to be washed in HOT water, imo.

I have mentioned before that those who grew up in our grandparents' generation had a better understanding of personal hygiene than many modern folk do, just because of the realization that germs brought infection, and before most antibiotics, infections killed people.

As a culture, we have become incredibly hygenically lax.

You think we (in the US) are bad.

Alot of Old World countries don't think it is responsible to use water for hygiene purposes at the levels we do.
