Chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) is most commonly spread via sexual contact, so it will most likely not be spread via household washing, although that is quite vague. If by household washing you mean washing clothing of the infected individual with clothing of uninfected persons, than most likely not. The amount of bacteria required to cause infection would probably not make it onto clothing articles and, with proper washing, the detergent and subsequent drying would kill/immobilize any bacteria present. If you mean washing a surface with chlamydia bacteria on it and then washing another surface, again, most likely not - if you are using a cleaning product, it will most likely kill that bacteria. The only 2 ways this bacteria would be spread throughout a household is either through birth (a newborn baby can be exposed to it in the birth canal and develop an eye infection or pneumonia) or it is illegal, so your worries should are few!
