MB 302.1 - Shaking Wet or Dusty Clothes on Shabbat: Laundering and Dust Removal

In today's episode, we discuss the halachic issues surrounding the cleaning and folding of clothes on Shabbat, focusing on the prohibition of laundering and shaking off dust or dew. We explore various scenarios, including the treatment of new black clothing, and the conditions under which shaking off water or dust may be permitted. Special attention is given to the difference between new and older garments, and the distinction between black and lighter-colored clothes. We also delve into rabbinic opinions on whether vigorous shaking is akin to laundering and whether certain practices may violate Shabbat laws.
