Cleaning, Laundry
At first it seems odd to choose a day for cleaning. But in Chinese tradition cleaning is more than a household chore. Along with the dust, stagnant "old" energy leaves the home. So it matters on which day you sweep it out: on the right day only what is unnecessary leaves, while on the wrong day you can "sweep out" your luck along with the rubbish.
This query has one of the most unusual logics in the Chinese Fortune Calendar: cleaning suits the days that are bad for most other matters.

What the query covers:
- spring cleaning of a flat, a house or an office;
- laundry, ironing, dry cleaning;
- washing windows and floors, cleaning carpets and furniture;
- cleaning the bathroom, the kitchen, the oven or the fridge;
- tidying up the garden, the yard or the garage;
- in a broader sense, "clearing" a space before an important event.
When to use a different query:
- sorting through and throwing out old things, decluttering: "analysis of old rubble";
- renovation: "starting of repair";
- repairing things: "fixing things in the house";
- rearranging furniture by feng shui, activations: "feng shui related activities";
- ordinary household chores without cleaning: "home affairs and entertainment".
How the Calendar rates the day. For cleaning the favourable Day Officers are Close, Control, Danger, Destruction and Remove. The unfavourable ones are Full, Open, Stable, Success and Establish. The logic is simple: on "filling" and "successful" days nothing should be carried out of the house, so that you do not carry out your luck. On "destructive" and "removing" days, it is the excess that leaves. For the same reason, stars that are negative for other matters are favourable for cleaning: Destruction in the Day, the Separating Day, the Extinction Day, the Star of Losses (you "lose" the dirt), Damage of the Day Branch and even the Death Angel. The Heavenly Star of Wealth is unfavourable: on a day of wealth you should not carry anything out of the house. The lunar mansions follow a similar logic: Ox, Maiden, House, Well, Void and Neck are among the good ones, while Stomach, Star, Dipper, Bow, Horn and Guardian are unfavourable.

Tip. Before important events, such as a move, a celebration or a feng shui activation, do a thorough clean on a day that suits cleaning, and hold the event itself on its own favourable day. That way you clear space for new energy.
