Silverfish are not particularly dirt loving. They're insects, but not all insects are "dirty". But I think the reason why you often find them in areas of the house considered the cleanest (if properly maintained, of course), is because their diet, among other similar things, contains the following: "glue, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, coffee, hair, carpet, clothing and dandruff". So it's no wonder they are usually found in washing chambers and bathrooms. And really, the dirtiest thing in that list to me seems to be dandruff, and seriously, there's worse things that could be lying around your bathroom or washing chamber.
