Besides, this habit can cause happiness to disappear from your life in a blink of an eye. You may spend the rest of your life in sorrow. According to some, this old, tattered cloth is associated with Rahu. In that case, cleaning the dirt with such clothes can activate the malefic power of Rahu in the house. Which can become a barrier to success in your life. That's why, according to Vastu experts, always use a clean cloth or suitable tools for wiping. That will actually leave the house of negative energy. Life will be filled with positive energy.
