## Wetting a garment <ref> Wetting a non-leather garment is Melabain according to the Mishna on Shabbos 142. There are exceptions to this rule as there are various Gemaras that allow one to wet clothes on Shabbos. The Rishonim offer several explanations: Tosfot Shabbos 111 s.v. Hai writes that wetting is only cleaning if the garment was previously dirty but it seems like the Rashbam argues in Tosfot 120 s.v. noten. Tosfos Shabbos 111 s.v. hai also suggests that wetting is not considered cleaning if it is done in a way that soils the garment. Hagahot Maimoniyot Shabbos 22:80 says that wetting is only considered cleaning if the individual had intent to clean. </ref> | ## Wetting a garment <ref> Wetting a non-leather garment is Melabain according to the Mishna on Shabbos 142.

#Many poskim hold that wet clothing that were left out to dry and you knew that normal circumstances it would be dry before the end of Shabbat you can use it when it dries.<ref>Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 609-11 explains that Minchat Yitzchak 1:81, Shevet Halevi 1:62, Igrot Moshe 5:22:26, and Minchat Shlomo 1:10 all hold that as long as the wet clothing will dry on their own it isn't muktzeh after they dry. Rav Nevinsal in Byitzchak Yikareh on m”b 308:63 agrees. Orchot Shabbat cites an oral communication in which the Chazon Ish agreed. Dirshu 308:89 cites this. Shvut Yitzchak ch. 8 citing R' Elyashiv argued that gamru byadey adam it isn't applicable to muktzeh machmat isur. Orchot Shabbat asks from Tosfot Shabbat 43a. Rav Moshe in Igrot Moshe 5:22:26 (Tiltulei Shabbat p. 250) adds a caveat that it would have to be you took out the clothing to dry but not that you left it in the washing machine.</ref> | |||

# Melabain was performed in the mishkan in the preparation of the wool that would be used for the curtains. <ref> Rashi Shabbos 73a s.v. Hemelabeno says that the Av Melocho of Melabain that took place in the mishkan was the removing the wool of its impurities. The Rambam Hilchos Shabbos 9:11 argues that the Av Melocho was the bleaching of the wool. The Rambam still agrees that cleaning wool is prohibited since it falls under the Toldah of Mechabeis, laundering. </ref> | # Melabain was performed in the mishkan in the preparation of the wool that would be used for the curtains. <ref> Rashi Shabbos 73a s.v.
