Book description

In Granny's day there were few labour-saving devices or fancy cleaning products. So when it comes to getting stains out of the carpet or keeping her laundry sparkling white, she still prefers tried-and-tested techniques handed down through the generations. Many people nowadays would prefer to use natural, traditional cleaning methods, rather than chemicals that can be harmful to our health and the environment. So why not follow in Granny's footsteps and try her effective, green and surprisingly simple household hints? Learn how to keep your home spotless using common ingredients found in your kitchen cupboard, like lemon juice or bicarbonate of soda. You'll be helping the planet and your wallet too … Granny would be proud! Brenda Evans is a keen cook, herbalist, author and devoted grandmother who lives in a small country cottage in East Sussex. When she is not cooking, or writing about cooking, she enjoys spending time tending her enormous vegetable patch and walking her two pet Chihuahuas on the nearby South Downs.
