The First Rule: Keep the Front Door Clear
The front door is considered the entryway and exit of the home, and as the saying goes, “When the door is blocked, the family’s luck will also be hindered.” In this context, the door can be seen as the face of the house. When leaving the house, it is essential to keep your clothes tidy, your appearance neat, and your face serious and clean. This not only creates a good impression but also builds trust from those around you.
Similarly, a clean and tidy door, free from shoes or litter, will positively impact your mood and create a first impression for guests as they step into your home. A beautiful and quality door creates a welcoming space where people feel confident entering without feeling “unworthy of entering a clean house.”

The Second Rule: Keep the Kitchen Clear
The kitchen, where essential meals are prepared for every family, is considered the family’s wealth source from a feng shui perspective. There is a belief that “food and wealth are equivalent.” According to the five elements theory, the kitchen belongs to the fire element; therefore, maintaining cleanliness and tidiness in the kitchen is of utmost importance.
Wastewater and garbage should be disposed of immediately after each meal to prevent dampness and clutter. Frequently used utensils like shovels, pots, and pans also need to be kept clean to prevent bacterial growth and oxidation. Maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen space ensures safety and prevents the family’s wealth from “sinking in a pool of water.”

The Third Rule: Keep the Bathroom Clear
In feng shui, the bathroom is often seen as a place that harbors impure energy. Therefore, keeping the bathroom clean and well-ventilated is crucial to prevent negative energy and odors from spreading throughout the house, thus affecting the family’s luck.
Flushing the toilet after use and maintaining the hygiene of the bathroom, faucets, and toilet should be done regularly to prevent dirt and water leaks. Apart from influencing luck, it is evident that these areas are also closely related to our health.
Our home is our sanctuary, the only space that nurtures both our physical and mental well-being. It is here that our wealth can truly flourish. Therefore, it is only prudent, as our ancestors believed, to pay attention to keeping these areas clean and airy, thus protecting and optimizing the positive energy within our homes.
