If you look at this sign from the point of view of common sense, then explain it is not difficult. Cleaning in a strange house can confuse the owners, as they can decide that they can’t do their job. On the other hand, if you are in close and trusting relationships with these people, then help will never be superfluous. The main thing is to ask permission and wait for a positive answer. It’s also worth remembering that “they don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their charter”!
Now we turn to the mystical side of the issue, which became the foundation for the emergence of this sign. Our ancestors believed that cleaning in a strange house can bring misfortune, illness and quarrel to the owners of this house. The reason for this is energy, which all things preserve. When an outsider takes up washing dishes, taking out garbage or working with a broom, then after such help, happiness, prosperity and mutual understanding leave the house. It all sounds too suspicious and looks very much like ordinary bikes. However, in the vastness of the World Wide Web you can find many real stories of people who had to undergo a series of failures after their guests decided to tidy up the house.
Reference! Even if you do not believe in all these superstitions, then do not neglect. Your friends, relatives and just acquaintances may well turn out to be superstitious people and regard such a gesture of help as a desire to harm and jinx their family. In any case, it is impolite to help someone in something without asking.
Why can’t you sweep in front of the road?
Another interesting and incomprehensible sign for many people, which has become widespread not only in Russia but throughout the world. Why not sweep before traveling? Now put all the points over i, dispel the fog over this issue. Our ancestors believed: if you organize a grand or a little cleaning on the day of departure, then you can simply not return home. This is all connected with the same aforementioned energy that things store in themselves.
Together with dust, debris and dirt, you wash your energy out of the house, as if cleaning it while preparing it for new residents. Therefore, superstitious people prefer to postpone cleaning for another day, so that the trip is successful and they happily return to their home. Superstition can be attributed to the same category of superstition, according to which it is not recommended to wash hair in front of the road, so as not to incur trouble.
