With the exception of cloth diapers, it is also forbidden to wash clothing for children three years and older. The accepted custom is to be leniant with regards to children under three years old and to allow washing their clothes. In addition to the prohibition against washing and wearing freshly laundered clothes, it is also forbidden to during the week of Tish'a Be'av to put fresh sheets on the beds and to wash napkins and towels and other such things. During the week of Tish'a Be'av it is permissible to polish ones shoes, and one need not worry that doing so falls under the prohibition agianst laundering clothing. Some people have the custom to refrain from washing some or all of the floors in the house from Rosh Hodesh Av and on, however our custom is to allow it even during the week of Tish'a Be'av.
