What is the earliest time to do a Chafifa? Mincha Ketana or Gedolah?

 

Neither of those times are mentioned regarding chafifa.

The chafifa may begin even earlier in the day, but should conclude close to mikvah time.

Some say not to keep the chafifa three hours apart from mikvah. Regardless, when sweating one must be extra careful.

Also, after chafifa she must be careful about not eating.

Iyun, checking again all body parts and hair, must be done right before mikvah. When possible she should also reshower, rinse hidden areas and comb hair right before mikvah.
