Athlete’s foot fungus in the laundry basket?

To be protected from infection, it is recommended that shoes are worn in particularly risky areas such as swimming pools, saunas or hotel rooms. However, little attention has been paid to the risk of infection that exists in people's homes. What happens if the socks of one family member who suffers from athlete’s foot are kept together with other laundry in the laundry basket and washing machine?
