A common question that I get is that during the
Nine Days you're not allowed to wear freshly
laundered clothing. We stop wearing freshly
laundered clothing as a sign of morning for
the Beis Hamikdash. What if I forgot, and all
of my clothes are freshly laundered? So there's
a famous heter that people know, that if you put
your clothing on the floor, then it's no longer
considered freshly laundered. It's important to
keep in mind that this heter is only when you put
your clothing on the floor outside or on a dirty
floor, so that it ruins the freshly laundered feel
of your clothing. Simply putting your clothing
on a clean floor does not help. And secondly,
this heter should only be used, the Poskim
recommend, at the beginning of the Nine Days,
but not on Shavua Shechal Bo, not on
the week within which Tisha B'Av falls.
