PostHeaderIcon Lush and green: Green clean

Our grandmothers have passed down many housekeeping tips over the years, particularly ones that use simple household items such as vinegar and bi-carb soda.

Not only do these products work but are free of chemicals – turning our homes into soothing sanctuaries.

Here are some recommended top-shelf pantry items:

  • Soda water: removes red wine and bloodstains
  • White vinegar: soak new purchases in a 50/50 vinegar-water solution to stop colours running – particularly good for washing new denim jeans for the first time.
  • Lemons: push used lemons into the cutlery cleaner of your dishwasher for a lovely fresh scent when you wash.
  • Vanilla extract: add a few drops to a cloth and wipe down the inside of your fridge to deodorise it.
  • Eucalyptus oil: removes sticky labels
  • Salt: add a tablespoon of salt to every wash to prevent colours running.

Don’t want to lash out on make-up primer during our financial re-adjustment?

Rosehip oil is a cheaper alternative that primes the skin perfectly before applying your "public" face.
