In modern times, people pay more attention to clothes. Many people often bring their laundry to the laundry shop, but regardless, most households still have clotheslines or clothes drying racks. However, drying clothes is not as simple as hanging them up and letting them dry in the sun and wind. Our ancestors used to advise their descendants not to leave clothes out overnight or hang them in front of the house… However, many people still do not truly understand why.
Drying clothes in front of the door blocks the flow of wealth and ruins aesthetics
According to feng shui, the front door is the place where the family’s wealth is attracted, and aesthetically, the front door is the face of the family. Therefore, the position of the front door needs to be well-maintained and presentable. Clothes are important to humans, they enhance beauty when worn, but when hung up, they can cause clutter and ruin the aesthetics of the surroundings, even causing disgust.
If the front door is blocked, it is very unfavorable in terms of feng shui. The energy that enters through the front door must ensure good and positive energy, as from there, the energy will be distributed to other spaces in the family.
When clothes are dried in front of the door, they look messy and the moisture from the clothes can create mold on the walls, making the air inside the house damp, especially in humid weather. Damp clothes also bring damp and gloomy air into the house, affecting fortune. Moreover, when clothes are dried in front of the door, it hinders the flow of good air, traps stagnant air, and blocks the entry of wealth into the house. From the feng shui perspective, when chaos is seen in front of the door, the god of wealth will leave. The front door should be bright, only then will wealth and fortune accumulate. Hanging clothes in front of the door will make the front door dark, which is extremely bad feng shui because that position needs the most light in the house.
Clothes are things that are worn on the body, so even if they are expensive branded items, they still come into contact with the secular world and outside pollution, so hanging them in front of the door is very bad feng shui and can lead to chaos, conflicts, and illnesses for the homeowners.
Hanging clothes in front of the house can also create a heavy psychological feeling when the homeowner returns home and a low evaluation of their home. Therefore, it is best to find another place to hang clothes, avoid hanging them in front of the door and blocking the door.
Drying clothes overnight is harmful and can invite evil spirits
Older folks often advise their descendants not to dry clothes overnight, especially on the full moon of July. Nighttime is when ghosts and demons roam around. When clothes are left outside overnight, they can look like human figures, scaring many people and even haunting them. Moreover, ghosts often hide in clothes hung outside, causing bad luck, leading to disturbed spirits and affected souls. Drying clothes overnight outside can be a way to invite ghosts into the house, causing family disturbances and making it difficult for the family to prosper.
Drying clothes at night in flickering light can cause fear, spiritual disturbance, and significant psychological harm, which can affect the family’s well-being and health. Hanging clothes at night also attracts more ghosts and spirits to surround your house. Even hanging clothes indoors at night is not advisable. If clothes are wet, they should be neatly stored or placed in a closed room.
Furthermore, clothes at night symbolize shadows and will attract many wandering souls to your house, causing chaos and making it difficult for the God of Wealth to bless your family.
Notes for safe clothes drying for the family
– Clothes should be dried from morning to night and put away. Wash clothes in the morning and dry them immediately to avoid clothes being damp for too long in the washing machine, which can increase bacteria, cause odors, dampness, and mold.
– Clothes should be dried in sunny and well-ventilated areas.
– Avoid drying clothes near trash bins or stove hoods, as it will make the clothes smell unpleasant.
– Do not dry clothes in excessively strong sunlight, as it will make the clothes stiff, lose their shape, and fade.
