He quotes this from the Lechem Hapanim 376 quoting Maharash Mlublin. He also quotes this from Hararei Kedem 93:11, Bet Dovid Bistritz 389:1. Yalkut Yosef (p. 308) agrees. Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky (Kovetz Halachot Ben Hametzarim p. 156) relies on this leniency for the nine days. He writes that the clothing should be put on the floor for some time, however, they should be put on a floor that he considers not to be clean. However, putting them on a floor was just cleaned or on a carpet doesn't help. Minchat Yitzchak 10:44 quotes this Lechem Hapanim and relies on it for sheets in a hotel. Rav Elyashiv (Ashrei Haish 3:69:49 p. 471) allows putting freshly laundered clothing on the floor so that they get a little dirty and then wear them in the extreme circumstance that his clothing got so dirty that he can't wear his outside.

One should only rely on it for undergarments and also only if those undergarments are very dirty already.

Also, it was only a solution for a mourner who didn't have time to prepare and not for the nine days when a person should prepare. Piskei Teshuvot (siman 551 fnt. 178) quotes Minchat Yitzchak as allowing the solution of putting the newly laundered item on the floor regarding sheets in a hotel. However, he also quotes Shevet Halevi 11:135, Rav Shlomo Zalman (Halichot Shlomo ch. 14 fnt 45) and Rav Yakov Yisrael Fischer (Halichot Even Yisrael n. 6) that this solution of putting the freshly laundered clothing on the floor doesn't work for the nine days. </ref>		#If a person didn't prepare non-laundered clothing for the nine days some poskim hold that it is acceptable to put the clothing on the floor for some time so that they don't appear newly laundered and then wear them.<ref>Chazon Ovadia (Arba Taniyot p. 232) writes that if a person forgot to prepare non-laundered garments for the shevua shechal bo he is allowed to put them on the floor for an hour so that they're not considered newly laundered.
