The year-end cleaning is an auspicious day.

The auspicious day for cleaning at the end of the year is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the "dust removal day" for every household. The north is called cleaning the house and the south is called dust removal. Cleaning the dust before the Spring Festival is a traditional habit of China people. North and south of the great river, everywhere is filled with the atmosphere of being willing to engage in hygiene and welcoming the Spring Festival cleanly.

Dust removal is year-end cleaning. Although it is "Dust Sweeping Day on the 24th", it is actually dust sweeping time from before and after the sacrifice to the end of the year. Thoroughly clean indoors and outdoors, in front of and behind the house, and wash clothes and quilts with electrical appliances. Clean up the dust accumulated in the corner bed and the roof beam of the house column for one year with a broom, and clean the metal handles on the boxes and cabinets. Taking the opportunity of sweeping dust, people also cleaned their bodies from head to toe. There is a folk saying called "shaving your head", that is, shaving your head before the arrival of the new year and welcoming the arrival of the new year with a brand-new look. Another cleaning activity is to take a bath, wipe off dirt and welcome the New Year.
