Question
Is it permitted to wash the house during the Nine Days [not on the eve of Tisha B'Av]?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The poskim do not mention a prohibition against washing the house, but many have the custom not to do so.
According to the instructions of our teacher, the Rav, shlita, it is permitted to wash in honor of Shabbat, or when the house is dirty and there is a need for it.
