Adding Clothes to Laundry - 10th of Av

Question

I asked if it is permissible to do laundry on the 10th of Av before noon as I am going on a trip in the afternoon. The rabbi permitted me. Is it also permissible to add other clothes to the machine that I am running anyway?

Answer

Shalom Rav

It is not permissible to add clothes that are not urgently needed to the laundry done before noon.
