I've never used tape on PVC thread to thread connections. The female end has a rubber washer (like a garden hose) that seals the connection. If you have the rubber washer there's no need at all to use tape. (And I've done a LOT of PVC plumbing in my lifetime!)
Edit:
Manufacturer of your washing machine probably recommends no tape or putty so there is no risk of either coming loose and clogging small holes inside your washer, or that filter screen where the hoses hook up to the machine.
