What are the various halachos concerning the use of freshly cleaned towels, bed sheets, tablecloths and handkerchiefs during the Nine Days? A. A fresh towel may be used during the Nine Days if the towel one was using became soiled (Kitzur Hilchos Bein Hametzarim p. 10:9). Bed sheets may not be changed during the Nine Days (Mishna Berura 551:33) unless they are soiled. However, if a guest arrives during the Nine Days then one may place clean sheets on the bed (Shu"t Tzitz Eliezer 13:61). A clean tablecloth can be used on Shabbos during the Nine Days (Taz OC 551:4). A fresh handkerchief may be used only if the old one is dirty and unusable (Shu"t Rivevos Ephraim OC 2:555).
