Cleaning before Chinese New Year is a deeply rooted tradition that symbolizes sweeping away bad luck and welcoming good fortune. Known as “Da Sao Chu”, this pre-holiday cleaning ritual is more than just tidying up — it’s about creating a fresh start for the year ahead.
In Chinese culture, a clean and organized home invites prosperity and positive energy. Dust, clutter, and dirt are believed to carry negative vibes from the past year. By thoroughly cleaning your space, you metaphorically sweep away misfortune and make room for good luck to enter your home.
Health is also a key focus of this tradition. A clean environment reduces allergens, bacteria, and viruses, promoting better well-being for the whole family. It’s a chance to declutter your surroundings and your mind, starting the year on a positive, healthy note.
To ensure luck stays in your home, remember not to clean during the first few days of Chinese New Year. It’s believed that cleaning during this time will sweep away the good fortune you just welcomed.
This tradition highlights the importance of both physical cleanliness and spiritual renewal. So, grab your cleaning tools and start fresh — clearing out the old to make space for a prosperous and healthy year ahead!
Using the right cleaning products can also make your pre-CNY cleaning faster and easier. High-quality, multipurpose cleaners help tackle stubborn stains and dirt with minimal effort, reducing cleaning time and saving your hands from harsh scrubbing.

TOP 1. Capsule Washer Cleaner
A New, Improved Solution for a Spotless Washing Machine!
The Capsule Washer Cleaner is the upgraded version of the traditional powder-based Washer Cleaner, designed to deliver a more efficient, convenient, and powerful cleaning experience. With its innovative capsule formula, it reduces cleaning time by one-third, completing a full cleaning cycle in just 30 minutes.
Formulated with plant-based surfactants, this cleaner effectively dissolves deep-seated grime, dirt, and residue that accumulate inside your washing machine’s tub, leaving it hygienically clean and fresh.
Many people assume that washing machines clean themselves during laundry cycles, but over time they accumulate dirt, detergent residue, and bacteria, creating a damp, warm environment ideal for mold, mildew, and fungi. These contaminants thrive in hidden areas like the rubber seal and detergent drawer, spreading to your laundry if not cleaned regularly, which can lead to skin irritations, allergies, respiratory issues, and infections.
We recommend using the Capsule Washer Cleaner in the following situations:
1. Dirt particles found on your laundry after a wash cycle.
2. Unpleasant odors lingering on clothes, even after washing.
3. If your washing machine has never been cleaned before, or it's been a long time since the last cleaning.
4. Skin irritation or itchiness that occurs even when wearing freshly laundered clothes.

TOP 2. Mold Remover Gel
Effectively Eliminates Mold and Mildew, Safe to Use with Minimal Odor!
Mold Remover Gel is an advanced cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite as its main active ingredient, a powerful compound known for its ability to effectively eliminate mold and mildew. Sodium hypochlorite works by breaking down mold at a cellular level and bleaching away discoloration, ensuring your surfaces are not only clean but visibly free from mold stains.
The unique gel-based formula is designed for easy and direct application to areas requiring mold removal, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and other damp environments. The gel consistency allows it to adhere to vertical surfaces or cracks, ensuring it stays in contact with the mold for optimal results.
Unlike traditional mold removers, this product produces minimal odor and significantly reduces inhalation risks. It has a chlorine concentration of less than 2%, which is significantly lower than many other cleaning products on the market, where chlorine concentrations range from 4% to 8%. This means that while it remains highly effective, it’s safer to use in confined spaces and around your family.
Removing mold from your household is crucial to prevent a range of health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and fungal infections. Mold can also worsen asthma and trigger other chronic conditions. In addition to protecting your health, eliminating mold helps preserve your home’s structure, preventing long-term damage caused by mold growth.
