Question
I have a very festive tablecloth for Yom Tov that we don't cover with plastic. If it gets dirty on Yom Tov, is it permissible to wash it in advance in honor of Shabbat/Simchat Torah, or is it better to use a simpler one?
Answer
Hello,
If there is another festive tablecloth, it is forbidden to wash. Even if the second tablecloth is not as beautiful as the first one.
