How may one remove mud from a garment on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits rubbing mud off from the inside of the garment (since it doesn't look like laundering) but not from the outside. One may scratch it off with a fingernail. Some authorities forbid scratching dried mud because of the prohibition of tochen (grinding).
