Cleaning your house is an important part of Holi 2026 preparations. As per the calendar, the festival of colors will be celebrated on March 4, 2026. According to Vastu Shastra, Holi is not just a day to play with colours, but it is also a time to remove negative energy from your life and home. If you want Goddess Lakshmi to come this Holi and bring happiness in your house, then remove some things from your house during Holi cleaning.
junk and garbage heaps
We often leave old junk, pieces of newspaper, or old iron items piled up in corners or under the stairs. This is considered a major Vaastu defect. It creates confusion in the minds of family members and hinders work. During Holi cleaning, remove or sell this junk from your house. Having free space will increase the circulation of air and light in your house.
stopped clocks
According to Vastu, a stopped clock hanging on the wall is a sign of “stopped time”. This can hinder your progress and good fortune. According to Vastu, a broken clock makes the people of the house lazy, due to which they lose good opportunities. If the watch can be repaired, replace the battery; Otherwise remove it from home. Make sure the clock is always placed on the north or east wall.
Terrace and balcony cleaning
Most people clean the inside of the house, but leave unnecessary items and garbage on the terrace. According to Vastu Shastra, a dirty roof has a bad effect on the respect and career of the head of the house. Before Holi Puja (Holika Dahan), clean your terrace and balcony thoroughly. Don’t leave broken utensils or old wood there.
dripping tap
If your kitchen or bathroom tap is constantly dripping, it is not only a waste of water but also a waste of money. In Vastu, flowing water is considered equivalent to “flowing money”. This leads to unnecessary expenses. Before Holi, call a plumber and get all the leaks fixed. According to Vastu, this strengthens the financial position of the house.
torn clothes and old blankets
Clothes kept in the cupboard which have not been worn for years or which are torn, bring negativity. These old clothes retain bitter memories in your mind and prevent you from making a new beginning. Clean such clothes and donate them to a needy person. This will give you blessings and will also free up space in the house.
