At first glance, it seems that helping the hosts sort out a pile of dirty dishes after a get-together is a common thing.
Many people do this. However, folk signs say that it is better not to do this.
Why you shouldn't wash dishes when visiting someone
1. Violation of the energy of the house. From the point of view of esotericism, every thing in the house is saturated with invisible energy.
It was formed during the life of the owners. When a person who does not live in this house starts doing the owner's work, the energy field is violated. And this is fraught with troubles for the owners: quarrels, illnesses, financial problems.
2. Washing away well-being. The belief is that other people's hands "wash away well-being." And this applies not only to money, but also to health and relationships.
3. Another belief says that a guest who decides to pick up a sponge can also suffer a backlash. They say that a person can bring on illness, especially in cases where he washes dishes after a person with health problems.
The omen makes an exception for close relatives who do not live in the same house. The signs concern only ordinary guests who are connected to guests only by friendship.
