Spring cleaning has been a tradition for many years. Typically, it is cleaned on the 28th day of the last month before the start of Lunar New Year. There are many benefits of spring cleaning such as bringing you good mood and removing allergens. Most importantly, it can bring you good luck if you know exactly what to declutter! Cleaning the house represents driving away bad luck from the previous year, allowing a new beginning.
Here are 4 things you MUST declutter for good luck.
1. Declutter your wardrobe
Do you find yourself having a wardrobe full of clothes, only to go back wearing the same few pieces again? If you realised that you haven’t touched a piece of clothing for more than a year, perhaps it’s time to get rid of it. You can definitely keep those clothing of sentimental value to you. Otherwise, it is best to either donate or resell it.
Tip: It is said that you should discard your old socks with holes and old underwear. Replacing them with new ones will bring you luck!
2. Declutter your fridge
Does your refrigerator have a lot of food? Some may have already expired or left inside for a long time. It is important to throw away any expired or uneaten food kept over a long time as it is believed to bring you bad luck. To declutter your fridge, the easiest way is to remove all the items and shelves so that you can sort it out! Once in a while, it is also good to clean the insides of your fridge with some mild soap and water.
Tip: If you want to store your food for hotpot over CNY and maintain its freshness, use the Gourmet Chef’s Skinny Stacks! This ingenious food preservation tray is safe, durable, and you can have less wastage.
3. Declutter in your door’s entrance
The front door of your home is the most important part as it is where good luck enters. Keeping this space clean and tidy is crucial! Do ensure that the entrance is brightly lit to draw in positive energy too.
Bonus: When cleaning, sweep from the doorway into the home instead of outwards. It is believed that you are sweeping in good luck and fortune by doing so!
4. Declutter your shoe rack
Similar to clothes, do you ever find yourself owning too many pairs of shoes? Having too many pairs of shoes may not be a good thing. Shoes actually break down faster than you think! If you feel that the shoes are not your style or you know you’ll never wear them again, you might as well throw them out.
You can donate the shoes that are still in decent condition or give them away so that someone else can enjoy them while they last.
Tip: To get rid of the musty smell of your shoes, use our Kinninaru deodorant. It leaves your shoes smelling fresh!
