Can I use the water from my dehumidifier in my washing machine? Are they any health reasons why I can’t?

I’m trying to save water. I’d like to dump the water from my dehumidfier into my washing machine. Is there any reason why I should not do this?
The dehumidifier is in the basement right next to the washing machine. I’d rather not have to carry the full bucket upstairs and outside to water the plants. I do try to make sure the bucket is clean, no mold, slime, etc.
