DUH, hadn't thought about washers typically using bleach, although, of
course at a much lower level. Just that I just bought a new washer two
weeks ago and am still a little protective of it. :0

Actually, it's almost certainly at a higher level in your washer. Chlorine
to shock your well is measured in parts per million. Chlorine in your
washer is measured in parts per thousand. A half a cup of bleach dumped
into a thirty gallon washer tub is a far greater concentration, unless
you've got a _really_ shallow well.
