While belief in black magic is sometimes a local belief it can also be a sign of psychosis. Since your mother is acting out on that belief to the extent of continuously washing everything, this behavior is not normal and requires evaluation and treatment. With proper medication these thoughts and behaviors can reduce.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist either online or in person for a detailed evaluation for treatment.
