Families often accumulate huge deposits of things that household members no longer wear. But it’s a shame to throw them away! The problem can be solved simply - use rags! And after use it is thrown into the trash. However, one important “but” must be taken into account. According to popular belief, personal items of clothing should not be thrown away or used as rags.. What to do with old clothes in this case? Let's figure it out together.
Why do folk superstitions prohibit making rags from old clothes?
Clothing is an integral and very specific part of our life. Where to put things that you no longer use? This issue is especially acute for young mothers whose children grow very quickly. This means that the number of obsolete things is growing exponentially.
Energy accumulation
Constantly in contact with the body, she receives a colossal share of our energy. It stays there even after things are no longer worn. This is the main reason why old clothes should not be discarded.
Important! If the housewife is not superstitious, then no problems arise. But superstitious ladies, as a rule, try to find other ways to get rid of unnecessary clothes.
Why are rags not the best option?
The main reason for the inability to use old clothes for cleaning the floor is the fact that the cloth will collect dirt and debris.
People's experience assures us that this will bring misfortune to the former owner of a sweater or other item used for cleaning.
Similar situation with dust cloths.
Important! It is believed that dirt that gets on old things contributes to the deterioration of the aura of the person who wore it. It also brings trouble for him.
How to treat signs and old clothes?
Each housewife must decide for herself what to believe and how best to use the outdated clothes of her household. Superstitions are, of course, an important part of our lives. But blind trust in all signs can lead to a house being littered with old things that interfere with life.
Important! Since signs dictate not to use things to collect garbage and dirt as a doormat, you need to abandon this idea and find ways to rationally use old things.
Rags are not the only option
There are several ways to declutter your wardrobe without throwing things away.
- Give clothes to friends and relatives. A good thing that still looks good can be given to one of your relatives or friends, if this is acceptable in your circles. True, if the clothes are already in an unpresentable state, it is unlikely that anyone will want to have them.
- Give to those in need. If the clothes still have a presentable appearance and can serve another person, they can easily be donated to various funds to help low-income families and the homeless.
- Keep it. This option also exists. But psychologists advise not to clutter the space around you. This contributes to a deterioration in emotional state and quality of life.
- Give away to animal shelters. Rags can be useful too! Animal shelters are constantly in need of a variety of rags and bedding.
Frankly old and worn things can be thrown into the trash, because they cannot last much longer. But if possible, it is better to rinse your clothes first. According to popular belief, water will cleanse it of accumulated energy and will not harm anyone.

Where is the logic? In your own home you cannot wash the floor or wipe off the dust. But please give the thing with your energy to strangers, and give it to dogs as bedding (the same dust and dirt). You need to get rid of old and unnecessary things, because you want to get rid of them.
Sounds funny. What to do? And everyone decides everything for themselves. So someone doesn’t need a rag, but you urgently need it? Almost everyone's home is overloaded with things. And they push us - buy, buy new ones. And we are getting along. What a fashion. And we drown in things, and ultimately in trash.
Clever Nadezhda! Now sales of all sorts of things have practically fallen; all that is left is synthetics, which are not needed for free. In my kitchen I always have rags from old robes and shirts.
You can’t wipe the floor, but can you use old clothes to rescue dogs at a shelter? Our ancestors altered their clothes for children, giving father's clothes only to sons, mother's clothes to daughters. Children's clothing was passed on only within the family; old clothes were disposed of by burning. Patchwork quilts, rugs made from strips of fabric, etc. Modern psychologists advise women not to keep clothes in which they experienced bad moments in life, a breakup or other failures. Get rid of underwear and bedding so that the energy of the past does not push away the new partner. There is only one conclusion. Don't bring it to the point of absurdity. You shouldn’t store trash, but you shouldn’t mindlessly get rid of everything either)))
The main thing is to wash!!!
I read here the other day... There is no need to accept or buy used things, as they absorb the energy of the previous owner. Where is the logic anyway?? You can’t throw it away, because like energy and all that, you can give it away, BUT you can’t accept it! A curtain. The circle is closed.
What nonsense.Is it possible to believe in some signs like that? Remember what poverty there used to be in the villages - they wore clothes there for two decades until they were torn, then they washed the floor with it, then they wiped their feet, and then they burned the rags in a fire. And nothing bad happened to anyone!
What nonsense, my sheet actually tore in two and I threw it into rags.
If you can easily wash off the energy with water before throwing it away, then why then necessarily throw the thing away?)
It doesn’t have energy, you can use it on rags)
such *useful* information, in order to clutter up space for more useful information.
Observation from life: one grandmother, when the middle of the sheet was worn out and torn in two, sewed it together with whole edges and got a sheet with a seam in the center, which could still be used.
Some women come up with so many prejudices and superstitions that it boggles the mind. I remember that during the war and the years after there were no department stores selling clothes and shoes. In our city, at the bazaar, there were a row of shoemakers’ booths for repairing clothes. People bought old, worn things, altered, repaired, repainted, because there was nowhere to buy new ones. During the years of shortage of everything, certain people were given things for children on special orders, for example . And in the family, the younger ones always wore the clothes of the older ones. From time immemorial. Even in very religious families. If clothes contained some kind of energy, we would have learned this from the Chinese, Indians, and gypsies. But I haven't read anything like it.
They intimidate people: don’t leave the knife on the table at night, otherwise misfortune will come. Don't stand on your left leg after sleep,
you'll get sick. Nonsense.
Wow, what nonsense...
Well, these are the “fruits” of modern enlightenment and technological progress! 21st century, space technology, and here are some medieval superstitions! People and things certainly have energy, and this is already a proven fact. But the fact that you can’t use old things for rags is nonsense. All our lives we have been using torn things as rags and everything is fine. It’s a paradox, although there was atheism in the USSR, there were much fewer such stupid superstitions. People dreamed of high achievements, of conquering space, of settling other planets. And now the media are trying to outdo each other in creating fake and stupid information designed for an unassuming and unthinking public.
The article is far-fetched, the superstitious facts are “far-fetched”... but do you think where our grandmothers got such elegant rugs, and in my childhood I counted about 17-19 of these cute circles in one room? These are all old clothes - they were cut into ribbons and both round and long multi-colored rugs were crocheted with a large hook: for Siberia it is important to insulate a cold floor with paths.
What the girls write is true; in my youth I myself sewed a torn sheet with a hole in the middle. One seam connecting the two edges and the sheet is renewed. Many had homemade rugs, some knitted round ones, some rectangular ones. Clothes were worn for years and school uniforms were worn from wash to wash. Nowadays we change clothes every day, but if you like the clothes, it’s not a sin to wear them every day.
so smart.
You can’t wash the floors... the aura will deteriorate, but please go to the shelter for bedding... some kind of nonsense (((
You can't wash the floor with a T-shirt, but, sorry, can dogs shit on it?
I apologize to the author, but what you write is complete nonsense!
Have you tried being treated by a shrink??
So that your energy does not remain on your clothes, before putting something on rags, soak the item in water with the addition of ordinary salt for several minutes... the same should be done when someone’s item comes to you. Salt erases all information about the owner of the item.
Water neutralizes everything! We washed it and threw it away with a pure soul!
