There are several methods that are commonly used to cleanse a home of what is perceived as negative or stagnant energy. Here are some diverse approaches from different cultural and spiritual backgrounds:

Smudging: This involves burning sacred plants such as sage, palo santo, or sweetgrass, and allowing the smoke to purify the home. This practice is rooted in Native American and other indigenous cultures.

Sound Cleansing: Using bells, chimes, singing bowls, or even clapping can help to break up stagnant energy through vibration. Some traditions use specific chants or mantras.

Salt: Sprinkling sea salt around the edges of rooms or using salt lamps can be seen as a way to absorb negative energy and purify the space.

Essential Oils: Diffusing purifying essential oils like lavender, rosemary, lemon, or frankincense can be used for their energetic cleansing properties, as well as for aromatherapy benefits.

Crystals: Certain crystals are believed to absorb and transform negative energy, such as black tourmaline or selenite. Placing them around the home or in corners can be used as a method for energy cleansing.

Physical Cleaning: Sometimes, the simple act of cleaning your home thoroughly can improve the flow of energy. This can mean decluttering, dusting, or re-arranging furniture to improve the chi or energy flow, according to Feng Shui principles.

Visualization: Visualizing white or golden light filling a space can be utilized as a form of meditation to cleanse a space energetically.

Plants: Having living plants in your home is said to improve energy by their very nature, which is growth and life which can improve the oxygen flow and also has been said to absorb negative energy.

Rituals and Prayers: From saging prayers to religious rituals, invoking spiritual assistance to cleanse a home can be a method based on personal belief systems.

Open Windows: Simply opening windows to let in fresh air and sunlight can be seen as a way to clear out stale energy and rejuvenate a home.

Note that many of these practices are based on spiritual or cultural beliefs and lack a scientific basis. Effectiveness can be very subjective and often depends on the individual's belief in the method used.
