Airport lounge showers provide uncontrolled access for a period of time, during which anyone can put anything they want. Contaminating a dispenser isnt a multi day activity.
0.1% seems awfully high, for something we have no scientific evidence to prove. Technically, brand new vacuum sealed sheets for each customer would be safer than washing them, but no one is clamoring for that.
