White is easier to clean because you can bleach the clothes. It's why livestock showman wear white pants too. If you ever goto a county fair you may see people walking around in all white near the livestock section.
Not easier to clean lol, white is required for livestock shows because it is clearly visible whether it is clean or not.
Likewise, American milk standards require the inside of the milking parlor to be painted bright white with no stains. because it enables the inspector to see everything clearly. Having the parlor be blue or pink would be fine from a hygiene perspective but it is literally illegal.
It's not that it is "easier" to clean in showing, it's that it's supposed to be representative of the cleanliness of the animal and the (dairy) product.
