Wow, gets you thinking doesn't it. I would guess if it is truly
"condensing" water out of the clothes it would be distilled water. And the
accumulated fluff from the clothes would be largely harmless. However, my
uneducated guess is that the system probably also allows for water to drain
off the clothes into a reservoir below the clothes basket. If this is the
case, the water you end up with is essentially your tap water along with
any residual soap, bleach, fabric softener etc. that remains from the
rinse. Just my guess.
