Same here, I wash things but i definitely don't obsess. I too am rarely sick, while my co-workers who wash the crap out of everything are always going down with the cold.
I remember reading some study a while back comparing kids who grew up in East Germany and those in the West. The kids in the west had much more stringent hygiene standards enforced by their parents, while the kids in the East were much more lenient. The kids in the west ended up being sick more often and had weaker immune system.
The saying what doesn't kill you can you only make you stronger definitely applies to immunity. The trick is to make sure it doesn't kill you.
