5 Valid Astrological Reasons Why You Should NEVER Make Mop Of Old Clothes

Even with the wide array of cleaning tools available today, a lot of individuals still use their old clothing as mops and rags. Particularly in India, we use our old t-shirts as cleaning clothes or “pocha” - floor cleaning mop. However, it is forbidden to use old garments as a mop or to clean dirt in accordance with vastu and astrological beliefs. If this is what you've been doing, now is the perfect time to STOP!  

Check out 5 valid astrological reasons why it is not advisable to make pocha out of old and unused clothes. 

5 Astrological Reasons Why You Should Never Make Mop Out Of Old Clothes 

1. Old clothes retain the energy of the person who wore them. Hence, if you clean the floor or dirt using those clothes then the life of the owner of the clothes also turns like a mop. It severely impacts good luck and brings negative energy for that person. 

2.  It is believed that cleaning a house with old clothing dooms its occupants to loneliness. Furthermore, all occupants of the residence may become unwell or experience discomfort as a result of using old clothes as mops.

3. The financial status of the family is adversely affected as a result of using old clothes to clean the floor. 

4. Negative energy is dispersed and mental tension is increased when discarded old clothes are left lying around. 

5. Additionally, using old and damaged clothes as mops weakens the position of Rahu in one’s horoscope which can lead to significant career and personal challenges and might even lead to failures in life. 

What To Do With Old, Unused Clothes Which You Don’t Need Anymore? 

Astrology advises you to wash your old clothes in salt water before donating them to the needy ones since this removes the energy from the garment that belonged to its former owner.
