In 2014, Nancy Birtwhistle won the Great British Bake Off. Now she’s trying to get us all to adopt more environmentally friendly ways of cleaning our homes.
Her book Clean & Green: 101 Hints and Tips for a More Eco-friendly Home aims to ween us off using harsh chemicals in favour of tried-and-tested recipes based on natural ingredients.
The book is available from The Bookshop Mold for £12.99 (with free p&p; order here) and The Guardian offers a summary highlighting 15 of the ideas, including bulk-buying, foraging for soap ingredients, restoring shower screens and removing scuff marks.
