#594 Carpet Cleaning in the Nine Days of Mourning
Q. Can you ask a maid to wash the carpets or curtains during the nine days?
Answer
Although you may vacuum clean a carpet during the Nine Days, even a Gentile should not wash them. The same applies to curtains (Nitey Gavriel Ben Hametzorim 1: 35: 20, Shoshanas Yisroel 4: 9)
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is similar.
