Question
Is it permissible during mourning to clean a garment without water, such as brushing dust off a hat, etc.?
Answer
Removing dust by hand does not fall under the prohibition of laundering as explained in the Gemara and by the poskim, and it is permissible to remove dust from one's clothes by hand during the seven days of mourning, even if one is particular about not wearing the garment with dust.
