Pre-Diwali cleaning isn’t just tidying up — it’s about clearing negativity and inviting positivity, prosperity, and Goddess Lakshmi home.
Don’t rush! Start with less-used areas like storerooms, then move to bedrooms and kitchen. Divide weekly for a stress-free cleanup.
Follow the “one-year rule” — if you haven’t used it in a year, donate or recycle it. A clutter-free home attracts fresh energy and mental calmness.
Swap chemical cleaners with natural alternatives: vinegar, lemon & baking soda. They’re safe, effective, and gentle on your hands and the environment.
Turn glass bottles into diyas, tin cans into rangoli holders, and old sarees into cushion covers — where creativity meets sustainability!
Focus on overlooked corners — fans, curtains, kitchen tiles & under furniture. Clean windows to let in festive light, symbolizing clarity and renewal.
Turn cleaning into a family ritual. Assign roles, play festive music, and celebrate teamwork — it makes the task joyful and meaningful.
Light incense, use natural fresheners, and place fresh flowers. Let your home smell divine and mirror Diwali’s inner and outer cleansing.
