Green Housekeeping by Christina Strutt
- Description
A Greener Way to Keep House
Clean with lemons. Grow the herbs. Make the jam. Turns out Grandma knew a thing or two.
Green Housekeeping by Christina Strutt is a beautifully practical guide to doing things a little more naturally around the home — with less waste, fewer unnecessary products and plenty of good old-fashioned know-how.
Discover simple cleaning solutions made with everyday ingredients such as lemon, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, alongside ideas for recycling, reusing and generally making what you already have work a little harder.
Then head outside to grow your own herbs, fruit and vegetables, before bringing everything back into the kitchen for homemade jams, chutneys and infused oils. There are even recipes for natural beauty treatments and wonderfully soothing bath oils.
With more than 300 beautiful colour photographs, it's packed with achievable ideas rather than impossible standards — small changes that can make home life feel simpler, more thoughtful and a little less wasteful.
A lovely book for gardeners, homebodies, makers and anyone who gets an unreasonable amount of satisfaction from a beautifully stocked pantry.
