I also thought that you're only allowed to start in the morning, not at night. But maybe I'm confusing it with when T"B is a nidcha, are you allowed to start at night then too?

Most of my neighbors don't have dryers. They hang their laundry out in the hot sun and it dries pretty fast.

I'm not sure why washing weekday clothes is lkovod shabbos, unless its to get rid of unsightly laundry piles before shabbos.
shosh, my cleaners idea of cleaning up is putting every peice of clean clothing in the laundry basket. sometimes, to be creative, she puts dirty stuff back in the drawers. |
(just picking this post, because it is something I have wondered about).
I don't really understand the Shabbos Heter. Normally in the 9 days there would be 2 Shabatot, and no heter to wash in the week of Tisha B'Av (well swine flue or little babies aside). If Tisha B'Av was Sunday this year, we would have needed Shabbos Clothes for last week, and also for this week, and we wouldn't be able to wash. If in a normal year you can get through 2 Shabatot in the 9 days, how come in this year you can't? I can understand more a heter to start laundry because you can't do it on Shabbos and then you might run out of PJs or weekday clothes for Sunday morning, but I don't understand the reasoning behind the "Shabbos Stuff Only" if normally you can't wash it and you are expected to make it through 2 Shabatot.
JUST ASKING NOT TRYING TO START A WAR (and for the record I'm doign laundry now so I'm not saying it's wrong, just trying to understand).

Because the 2nd Shabbos - if there are 2 during the Nine Days - is Shabbos Chazon, which is also at least partially mourning. It's true you can wear clean clothes, but only if you laundered them before, so if you only have one outfit you wear it again unwashed. Also, you are not allowed to change linen. You cannot have a haircut or shave l'koved Shabbos.
However, this Shabbos, Shabbos Nachamu, has none of the 9 Day restrictions. So we need to allow time for anyone who needs clean clothes/ linen/ towels/ underwear/ tablecloths etc to do it in time.
Signed: shalhevet who has finished Shabbos laundry and is waiting for chatzos in 20 minutes time to make a dent in the rest.

I was told according R' Moshe you could start doing laundry last night, becasue it is erev shabbos, and once you are doing you can do everything. So I threw in a load last night before going to sleep.

No one says you can't wash Thursday night, but rather that it's better to wait unti Friday morning. Which is what I did.

I'm so glad you've asked all the poskim in the world. People wrote here that they'd received psakim that you write 'no one says'. I also wasn't told Friday morning is preferable to Thursday night.

well, for some people that may mean not having clean clothes for shabbos. For you, maybe you can manage by washing all your clothes on friday, for some people with lots of kids it may be a big problem. I have done about 7 washes since last night and still have full laundry baskets.

erev shabbos makes it very different ... since you're not allowed to do some things after chatzos on a typical erev shabbos - you need to get a head start after tisha b'av ...
I wonder if sonny boy is gonna shave ...
personally I hate doing laundry ...

So that's a question for a rov, then. I work full time and do not plan on washing "everything" in the hampers today. But that's okay for us.
