As Diwali approaches, households across India dive into deep-cleaning routines, an annual practice believed to invite the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. This festive cleaning is typically a heartwarming tradition, but this year, some unconventional cleaning techniques have gone viral, adding a humorous twist to the season.
One video shows a woman vigorously cleaning her wooden bed, but rather than the usual dusting, she takes it apart and hoses it down with water. Many viewers were left puzzled, as soaking a wooden bed in water could lead to lasting damage, making it unlikely to be usable anytime soon.

In another clip making the rounds, a woman goes to extreme lengths with her ceiling fan cleaning. Instead of simply wiping it with a damp cloth, she removes it from the ceiling and hoses it down on the balcony, raising questions about water damage risks for electric appliances.
These videos have sparked a wave of online reactions, with many finding humor in the seemingly excessive cleaning methods. While the intention behind these actions is festive preparation, the creative approaches have left viewers both amused and incredulous.
