Why can't I wash the quilt in the first month?

You can't.

It is not used to washing quilts in the first month. It is said that washing quilts will wash away the good luck this year, and washing children will make it easier to catch a cold. But in fact, this is just a traditional custom. The ideas of the older generation are stubborn and cannot be changed for a while. Those are superstitions. It is always good to pay attention to hygiene, but if you think it is better not to wash it, then you can put it in February.

It is too cold in winter. If the family is poor and there is only one quilt, it is not easy to wash. What should I cover at night? So the saying that you can't wash the quilt in the first month has been passed down.
