With Tugb. provisos above yes. But do make sure that you are using biodegradable products. Same applies to bath water.

With caution, yes. It is called "gray water", and I would avoid watering sensitive plants like rhododendrons, camellias, begonias, and ferns with it. It will be important to use all biodegradable washing up products. I would also flood the plants you use it on several times a year with clean tap water, to help the rain in removing chemical buildup. Don't use sewage from the toilets for this.
