Many people believe that from the first day of the New Year, life will magically change, and all the bad things will remain somewhere in the past.

There are signs that explain the need for cleaning. But there are also those that advise against picking up a mop and broom on New Year's Eve.

Cleaning before the New Year

Supporters of New Year's cleaning explain its necessity not only by prejudices.

Usually in such situations it is possible to get rid of the junk that has been lying around for months and taking up space.

Of course, it’s nice to celebrate the holiday in a clean and tidy environment.

As for the rest of the points concerning attracting happiness and luck, there are some of them.

To live richly

It is difficult to say whether there will be a person who will believe in the power of this ritual.

But there is a version that if you soak 27 kopecks (meaning 27 coins) of the same denomination in a bucket of water for 10 minutes, and then wash the floor with this water, then the coming year will be successful.

Cleaning for the New Year is a waste of happiness

It is believed that during cleaning on December 31 and January 1 in the first half of the day, on the contrary, it only causes harm.

By picking up a broom these days, the housewife risks throwing away her well-being along with the trash.

But it's not just garbage that shouldn't be thrown away.

Even a cigarette butt or a candy wrapper thrown out the window promises problems for the entire coming year.
