[One may however launder it up until the week of Tisha Beav, even according to the Ashkenazi custom.[39] If one owns more than one pair of a certain clothing and all of that clothing has become dirty, then one may wash the clothes he needs up until the week of Tisha Beav. However, this only applies to clothing that regularly become dirty and sweaty and is hence changed often. Thus, one may launder socks, underclothing and shirts if all that clothing has become dirty, up until the week of Tishe Beav.[40] The same applies regarding ironing the above clothing.[41]] If Tishe Beav falls on Sunday the week beforehand is not considered the week of Tishe Beav.[42] However, if Tishe Beav falls on Shabbos and was pushed off to Sunday, it is disputed as to whether the entire week beforehand as the week of Tishe Beav[43], and the Ashkenazi custom is to be stringent in this matter.[44]

Practically, one may be lenient to launder the Shabbos clothing through a gentile.[48]
|
Q&A Must one launder all his clothing before the nine days, in order so he does not need to launder them during the nine days?[49] Yes. However, he is not required to purchase more clothing before the nine days, so he does not have to do laundry.

|
Q&A May one iron his clothes in honor of Shabbos? If one does not have any other ironed clothing available some Poskim[62] rule that doing so is allowed. May one send his Shabbos Kapata to the cleaners? If the Kapata is dirty and one does not have another one available, then it may be laundered or sent to the cleaners in honor of Shabbos. May one launder his Tallis Katan/Gadol if they are dirty?[63] If one’s current Tallis Gadol/Katan is dirty to the point that it is unwearable, and he does not have another one available, and is unable to borrow one in its place, he may launder the Tallis Katan/Gadol. |
It is forbidden for adults to launder children’s clothing starting from the week of Tishe Beav.[65] [Some Poskim[66] rule this applies even according to the Ashkenazi custom. Other Poskim[67] however rule that according to the Ashkenazi custom one may not launder children’s clothing during the nine days, starting from Rosh Chodesh Av.] However, those children’s clothing which constantly becomes dirty with feces and urine, may certainly be laundered even the week of Tishe Beav.[68] Furthermore, the custom is to launder all children’s clothing.[69] [Some Poskim[70] rule that this applies to children of up until 2-3 years of age. Other Poskim[71] rule it is up until the age of 3-4. Other Poskim[72] rule it applies at least until the age of Chinuch, which is approximately six-seven years old. Other Poskim[73] rule it perhaps applies until the age of Bar Mitzvah, just as is the rule by Aveilus. Practically, one may be lenient up until the age of Chinuch, which is approximately six years old, and past the age of Chinuch one may be lenient up until the week of Tishe Beav.[74]]
Washing in private:[75] The clothing is to be washed [and dried] in private [i.e. in one’s home rather than a laundry mat, and not in the open view of the public]. [If, however, one does not have the means of washing the clothing in private, or if there is a better washing available in public, then it may be washed in public.[76] Thus, one who does not have a washing machine may wash the clothing in a laundry mat, and if a certain clothing needs dry cleaning it may be sent to the dry cleaners.]
How many clothing to wash at a time:[77] One is not to wash many clothing simultaneously [but rather one clothing at a time[78]]. [However, in a washing machine one may be lenient to wash even many clothing at a time, so long as one is in need of all the clothing to be washed before Tishe Beav, and does not add to it any clothing of adults that cannot be washed.[79]]
Having a gentile do the washing:[80] When one is allowed to wash clothing of children during the week of Tishe Beav, it is best to have the laundering done by a gentile. [Prior to the week of Tishe Beav, there is room to be lenient to allow washing all children’s clothing who are below Bar Mitzvah through a gentile.[81]]

During the week of Tishe Beav, it is forbidden to launder any clothing, even if one has run out of clothing, even if it is the clothing of a child or a gentile, unless the clothing is of a child which is below the age of Chinuch, or is needed for the sake of a Mitzvah.

Dirty areas of the floor may be washed as normal.[90] One may mop the floors regularly in honor of Shabbos.[91] |
[1] 551/3-6; Mishneh Taanis 26b
[2] Michaber ibid and Mishneh ibid regarding the week of Tishe Beav and Rama 551/3 and 4 that we are stringent beginning from Rosh Chodesh Av
Ruling of Michaber and Sefaradim: The Michaber ibid rules it is only forbidden to launder clothing during the week Tishe Beav, and so is the Sefaradi custom.
[3] The reason: As it appears that one is removing his mind from the mourning. [M”A 551/12; Rashi Taanis 29; See Levushei Serud 551]
Custom or letter of the law? The root of this prohibition is from the letter of the law and is not a mere custom. However, from the letter of the law it only applies during the week that Tishe Beav falls in. [Michaber ibid; Mishneh Taanis 26b and Gemara 30a following the opinion of Raban Shimon Ben Gamliel] However, the Ashkenazi custom is to forbid laundering from the beginning of the nine days. [Rama 551/3 and 4 in name of Minhagim; Rokeaich and Oar Zarua]
The forms of laundry that are prohibited: All laundry is forbidden form the letter of the law during the week of Tishe Beav, and according to custom also during the nine days, if one intends to wear the clothing during the nine days. If one plans to wear the clothing after Tishe Beav, then from the letter of the law, certain laundering is permitted, as explained in the next footnote. [Beis Yosef 551; M”B 551/22; Kaf Hachaim 551/52
[4] See Michaber ibid that so is custom and that some say that clean water is Ghutz; See Kaf Hachaim 551/58
[5] Michaber 551/3 regarding the week of Tishe Beav and Rama 551/3 and 4 that we are stringent beginning from Rosh Chodesh Av; Rav Sheshes in Taanis 29b regarding the week of Tishe Beav [unlike Rav Nachman in Taanis ibid who permits it]
The forms of laundry that are prohibited: See Michaber 551/3 and Taanis 29b for different types of washing and their ruling. Practically, today all forms of washing are prohibited. The following is a summary of the opinions in Michaber: Our form of laundry [in times of Talmud and Michaber] is permitted [Michaber ibid; Taanis ibid as explained in Rashi ibid] if one does not plan on wearing it until after Tishe Beav [Beis Yosef 551; M”B 551/22] although ironing is forbidden, with exception to [old-Tur; Beis Yosef] linen material clothing [which is defined as undergarments-See Beis Yosef 551; Kaf Hachaim 551/53] which is permitted to iron for wearing after Tishe Beav. [Michaber ibid; Taanis ibid] However, the custom is to prohibit even laundering linen, even for after Tishe Beav. [Michaber ibid; Tur in name of Avi Haezri] One may not be lenient in this matter being that it is an established custom, as well as that perhaps it is forbidden from the letter of the law. [Michaber ibid] The reason for this is because some rule our form of laundry is like the ironing of back then and is hence forbidden from the letter of the law. The difference of types of laundering is based on the quality of water, and whether clean or dirty water is used. In Bavel, since clean water was not available, all laundry was considered permitted, while in Eretz Yisrael, in which clean water was available, all laundry was forbidden. Accordingly, some say all of our forms of laundry today are forbidden being we have clean water. [Michaber ibid; Rav Yehuda Bar Reuvein] In addition, some say Gihutz/ironing means washing with laundry detergent whil regular Kibus is washing with just water. Accordingly, since in today’s laundering we do not use plain water, but also add detergent, it is therefore defined as the Gihutz of back then, which all agree is forbidden from the letter of the law even by linen clothing when done to wear before Tishe Beav. [Michaber ibid; Nimukei Yosef] Therefore, perhaps from the letter of the law one may not launder even linen clothing with intent to wear before Tishe Beav. [Michaber ibid] Therefore, the custom is to prohibit laundering all clothing, even linen, even with intent to wear after Tishe Beav. [Michaber ibid; Mateh Yehuda 551; Kaf Hachaim 551/57]
[6] Michaber ibid; Tur in name of Avi Haezri; See previous footnotes that from letter of the law it is permitted to do so for after Tishe Beav, although the custom is to be stringent.
[7] Michaber 551/3
[8] See previous footnotes for discussion regarding linen clothing
[9] Rama 551/3; Maharil; Tosafus Taanis
[10] The reason: As it is considered that one is removing his mind from the Aveilus when he deals with brining the clothing to a gentile to launder. [Levushei Serud 551/12]
[11] M”A 551/15; Chayeh Adam 133/12; See M”B 551/34 and Kaf Hachaim 551/69
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule it is permitted to give the gentile to clothing for her to launder after Tishe Beav. [Elya Raba 551/8; Derech Hachaim 1]

[14] Michaber 551/5; Terumos Hadeshen; Yerushalmi
[15] M”A 551/19; See Levushei Serud ibid
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule one may not laudner clothing of gentiles in any circumstance. [Mateh Yehuda 551]
[16] The reason: This is forbidden due to Maaras Ayin, as people will think that one is washing a Jew’s clothing. [M”A 551/19; Taz 5516; Terumas Hadeshen; See Levushei Serud ibid]
[17] Chayeh Adam 133/12; Kitzur SHU”A 122/13; M”B 551/43; Kaf Hachaim 551/86
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule one may not launder clothing of gentiles throughout the nine days. [Mateh Yehuda 551; Derech Hachaim 2]
[18] M”A 551/19; Elya Raba 551/14; Ben Ish Chaiy Devarim 6; Chayeh Adam 133/12; Derech Hachaim 2; M”B 551/42; Kaf Hachaim 551/83

[Shevet Hakehasi 1/171; Piskeiy Teshuvos 551/22]
The reason: Although doing so is allowed from the letter of the law, nevertheless one is to avoid doing so due to Maras Ayin. [ibid]
[27] Shevet Hakehasi ibid; Piskeiy Teshuvos ibid; based on M”a 551/26 that until Tzeis the customs do not apply

Thus, regarding before the week of Tishe Beav we are lenient like the Michaber in this matter even though we are stringent [unlike the Michaber] regarding other laundry.

[61] The reason: From the letter of the law, it is permitted to laudner clothing for Shabbos, and it is only due to custom that we forbid it. [Darkei Moshe 551, brought in M”A ibid; Tur 551; Mishneh Taanis 26b] Therefore, one may be lenient in a case that he does not have other clothing available. [M”A ibid]
[62] Nitei Gavriel 35/28 [his own opinion] based on M”A 551/14; M”B 551/32 that allow washing clothing for Shabbos and the same would apply to ironing if no other clothing are available.

[64] 551/14; See Piskeiy Teshuvos 551/45; Nitei Gavriel chapter 36
[65] Michaber ibid
The reason: As although private mourning does not apply to children, public mourning applies to children for either Chinuch purposes or for purposes of Agmas Nefesh. [M”A 551/38; Terumos Hadeshen 152] Seemingly, the practical ramification between the two reasons [Chinuch or Agmas Nesfesh] is regarding a child that is below the age of Chinuch, as according to the reason of Agmas Nefesh it would apply to children of any age [see Michaber Y.D. 340/27; Moed Katan 14b; Derisha, brought in Rav Akiva Eiger 340/27; Bach 340] and so is implied in Rama ibid that it applies to even children in diapers. However see P”M 551 A”A 38 who states it only applies to the age of Chinuch. See Nitei Gavriel 36 footnote 8]

[67] Elya Raba 551/31 in name of Levush, following Rama 551/3 and 4 that we are stringent beginning from Rosh Chodesh Av, brought in M”B and Kaf Hachaim ibid
[68] Rama ibid
The reason: As such a washing is not done for purposes of Simcha. [Levush 551; Kaf Hachaim 551/178] Alternatively, as they need the clothing and the Sages did not make a decree that cannot be upheld. [Kaf Hachaim ibid]
[69] Rama ibid states “However those clothing which the children urinate and have bowel movements in, may certainly be washed. Furthermore, it is customary to wash even the clothing of the other children.”

[72] P”M 551 A”A 38
[73] P”M 551 A”A 39 in implication of Darkei Moshe and Beis Yosef; See P”M 551 A”A 38 that at the very least, even the original prohibition written in Michaber must refer to from the age of Chinuch and higher, which is 6-7 years old, as below Chinuch there is no reason to be Machmir.

[76] M”A ibid allows doing it by a river even though it is in public and the Machatzis Hashekel and Levushei Serud ibid explain that one is only required to do it in private if he has the ability to do so and the washing quality will be equal to that of the public washing.
[77] M”A 551/39; Elya Raba 551/31; Chayeh Adam 131/18; M”B 551/83;Mateh Moshe 702; Hagahos Maimanis
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule one may wash even many clothing at a time, such as 4-5 clothing. [Shulchan Gavoa 551/24, brought in Kaf Hachaim 551/177
