Kitchen cleaning at night- Wanna know whos right!!!

Dear Ladies,

I am in a bit of confusion. My mother has always taught me to keep my kitchen clean before going to bed at night. She has been doing also and also insists we do it the same way at our house. As she has taught me, I wash all the used utensils at the night itself. I swipe the kitchen floor and gas tops and then only go to bed. As per her, then only there will be Laxmi vaasam at our house. I have been following this ever since I got married. But my MIL does reverse. She will keep the used vessels as it is until next day morning. She will not swipe the floor or do any cleaning. When I told her the practice I and my mother follow, she told me what we are doing is wrong. In kitchens where it is kept spotless clean at night, Goddess Laxmi never eneters such house.

I agree its all a matter of belief but still if you can tell me what has been the practice at your place...

Meera
