If you're that paranoid about it I suggest either buying a portable washer such as this or washing clothes in a sink/wasbtub so you don't have to use a communal washer. Otherwise unless you plan to wash all of your laundry in water over 160f you're not going to sanitize anything.
There is no detergent that will sanitize clothes, period. "Sanitizing" rinses such as Lysol's and Persil's need to go into the rinse cycle (they cannot come in contact with detergent) and need to agitate throughout the clothing for at least 15 minutes and need warm/hot water to be effective. Frankly there are very few, if any washers that have rinse cycles that agitate that long, and most washers now use a default cold water rinse. There are no common laundry additives that will sanitize clothes. There are specialty products like Opto-Cide which work on soft surfaces, but they must be used full strength.
Chlorine bleach will sanitize clothes if used in the right amount, at the right temperature (over 140f), and added at the right time (it must be added several minutes after detergent, and have several minutes agitation time once added). If you are this concerned about your neighbors germs though this might be an option for you. Run a hot water wash with bleach and detergent w/ some old towels or rags through, and then immediately run your clothes through on the next cycle.
You should also dry your clothes at the highest temperature setting for a minimum of 30 minutes, according to this and this in order to kill bacteria and viruses.
