Can I wash children’s clothing on Chol Hamoed? How about very dirty towels?

 

One may wash children’s clothing if they are of the age where they regularly soil all their clothing. One may only wash that which is needed for the Moed.

Towels that are soiled on a regular basis may be washed too.

Please see the link for clothing of adults:

I went away for Sukkos and planned on bringing enough clothes to last the whole Yom Tov and upon arrival realized that I only brought 2 shirts and forgot the others. Is there room to be lenient and wash them on Chol Hamoed? Do I need to just wear the same shirt for 3-4 days, or maybe buy new ones?

 

שו״ע תקלד א, ערוך השולחן תקלד ח משנה ברורה תקלד יא.
