Donating old clothes is often seen as a generous and thoughtful gesture. Most of us do it with the belief that our unused clothes might help someone else in need. But according to astrology and spiritual beliefs, clothing donation isn't just about goodwill, there are certain rules and energies associated with it that one should be mindful of. (News18 Telugu)
Astrologers believe that the clothes we wear absorb our body's energy, thoughts, and emotions. Every outfit carries imprints of our experiences, both positive and negative. When we pass these on to someone else without any purification, it's possible that we transfer that emotional residue and energy along with the fabric. (News18 Telugu)

That's why experts suggest cleaning old clothes thoroughly before giving them away. More specifically, washing clothes with salt, especially rock salt, is believed to purify them energetically. Mixing a bit of rock salt in water while washing is said to remove negative vibrations and restore balance.(News18 Telugu)
It's not just the physical act of washing, your mental state while donating also matters. If you're emotionally attached to a garment and feel sadness or regret while giving it away, that energy may linger. It's best to let go with a happy heart, appreciating that the clothes will serve someone else better now. (News18 Telugu)
Whom you donate to is equally important. Giving to those who are truly in need, especially the underprivileged who live with dignity, is considered ideal. Donating shouldn't be about feeling superior, but about offering help where it is genuinely required. (News18 Telugu)
Another important point is to avoid donating torn or heavily worn-out clothes. While you may think anything is better than nothing, astrologers warn that such garments may pass on unwanted energies or hardship to the recipient. (News18 Telugu)
Astrologically favourable days such as Amavasya, Purnima, or Saturdays, and mornings in general, are believed to enhance the positive effects of donations. When done thoughtfully, the act of giving can bring blessings and good karma not just to the recipient, but to you as well. (News18 Telugu)
