Signs about the road are rooted in ancient times, however, superstitious people still listen to many of them. And one of these beliefs can explain why you can't clean the house when someone is leaving. 
If someone in the household starts cleaning the floors before you hit the road, there is a danger that luck will turn away from you.
Can I clean up before leaving?
You should pay attention to the following signs:
- It is highly undesirable for a traveler to clean on his own, since there is a possibility that he will never return to this house.
- You cannot sweep the floor when guests are leaving. By your actions, you can seriously harm or, as the people say, “cover the way.” As a result, the road will be full of dangers.
- If someone in the household starts cleaning the floors before you hit the road, there is a danger that luck will turn away from you.
- A bad omen is a situation when relatives who were visiting you have not yet crossed the threshold, and you have already begun to clean up. Before leaving, you should not start cleaning, as quarrels and abuse will settle in the house.
It should be noted that, according to legends, it is advisable to thoroughly wash the stairs before leaving. As a result, the road promises to be happy and without obstacles.
Why can't you clean up when someone has left?
Signs are advised to start cleaning your house only after a person gets to their destination. This should not be done immediately after his departure.
- During the cleaning, along with the garbage, the hostess gets rid of the memories of the person who left. It is better to wait until the traveler reaches the end point, helping him with his good thoughts and sharing positive energy.
- If one of the family members went on a long journey, then the signs insist that it is impossible to clean the house for three days. The journey will then go smoothly.
- If guests have just crossed your doorstep and headed home, you should not rush to clean up, even if they live very close. For example, if a person commutes to his house by car, then your actions may cause it to break down or crash. You should wait for a call or a message from the guests that they are already in place and only after that they take up household chores.
- If matchmakers have visited your house, then it is highly undesirable to wash the floors and sweep immediately after they leave. Signs say that in this case, the wedding will not take place.
The floors can only be washed if the guests were not welcome. So you can remove negativity and permanently 'wash' these people out of your home.
You shouldn't do the cleaning before the trip. Better sit down, as they say, on the path and mentally communicate with the brownie. If you have forgotten something, then he will definitely remind you of this. And after the departure of guests or relatives, you should just relax. And after they reach their destination, you can clean up your house.
