Do you think Tuvix's quarters were full of both Tuvok's and Neelix's stuff?
Tuvok would have been mortified having to collect it.
Tuvok and Neelix become roommates in season 7, momentarily.

Neelix made out of that situation like a bandit!
"All your underwear? You want me to keep all your underwear? Thank you, thank you, you like me, you really, really like me."
However, Voy Mortal Coil.KEIKO: Every night, Miles leaves his socks on the floor. When we got married, I made the mistake of picking them up a few times. Then I realised, if I kept it up I'd be doing it the rest of my life. So I stopped, figuring he'd get the point and do it himself. One night goes by, two, a week, ten days. By now there's a pile of socks half a metre high.
O'BRIEN: Come on, it wasn't half a metre.
KEIKO: After two weeks I couldn't stand it any more. I bundled them up and put them in the cleaning processor. And I'm still doing it.
O'BRIEN: And a very good job she does of it, too.
How a replicator works.EMH: The early stages of Ktarian development are astounding. Naomi has grown five centimetres since her last physical, and that was only three weeks ago.
WILDMAN: It seems like every time I turn around I'm recycling her clothes back into the replicator.
SEVEN: Children assimilated by the Borg are placed in maturation chambers for seventeen cycles.
Maybe after the Void, replicator washing was more energy efficient than Cleaning Processor washing?BOSAAL: Who did you raid to get fresh vegetables?
JANEWAY: They're replicated. One of the crews that joined us had technology that tripled our replicator efficiency.
NEELIX: It may not be a gourmet feast, but we can feed five hundred people a day now using half the power it took us a few days ago.
Tell me more about the Janeways scissoring together.

A stockpile of biomatter in the heart of the replicator is reconstructed into "stuff" to order.
That stock pile is limited.
That stockpile of biomatter also has to be precisely exactly a specific substance that can be safely changed into all the things that a replicator transforms biomatter into.
Mixing colours with whites.
Putting the wrong sort of fuel in your car.
There must be slightly dangerous/inconsumptable yet ordinary substances that you should not recycle into your replicator for the sake of it's constitution.
Logically then, only replicated clothes should be recycled into the replicator and non replicated clothes are cleaned in the cleaning processor.
But there'd be a filter for in case if you make a mistake, you're ignorant or wantonly defy the owners manual.
Which means that you would have a wad of unreplicatable matter building up in a depository inside your replicator that has to eventually be disposed of which would mean that your machine is displaying a terrible conservation of mass ratio.
Although how Sam is talking, a replicator is a replacement for a trash can, and not a replacement for a washing machine.
It's still more energy efficient to wash clothes than to rinse then through the replicator to remove ground in stains... however...
