When the guests have left, signs do not recommend immediately grabbing a mop, rag and bucket.

According to popular belief, such hasty cleaning can bring trouble. This superstition has its own explanation, which was formed many centuries ago.

What is the essence of the sign?

The belief is that in the process of cleaning or throwing out garbage, the memory of the person who recently visited this home is erased.

If he did not reach his home, then trouble may happen on the road. Therefore, the sign recommends waiting until the person completes the journey. Then you can clean up the house if there was a small mess left after the guests.

Every guest is different

Signs say that everything still depends on who was visiting. For example, if they were relatives, then you can't clean the house for 3 days.

If there were matchmakers at home, it is forbidden to do wet cleaning. It is believed that this can "wash away" the planned wedding. Superstitious people wait a few days after this, and then clean up with a calm soul.

However, if you have people visiting you that you didn't want to meet, then you can immediately wash the floor. The sign says that this way you can get rid of the negative energy left by the guests.
