بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 729/729/M=1434)

In case you get your clothes washed in laundry if there is strong probability of purity then the clothes shall be considered pure. But if the probability is of impurity then they shall be considered impure. And merely on the ground of doubt it will not be ruled as impure. If someone is cautious it is better.
