'The only book that could turn cleaning into a love affair.'
JO GOOD, radio presenter
Since when did cleaning become so complicated?
Purdy Rubin and Charlotte Figg were just like us - fed up with all those plastic spray bottles full of harsh chemicals under the kitchen sink, most of which were never used. So together they embarked on a mission to find a better solution. The result? Purdy & Figg, the UK's fastest-growing natural cleaning brand.
In this beautifully illustrated book, Purdy and Charlotte share their knowledge and show us how just a few natural hero ingredients can more than hold their own against 'Big Clean', especially when combined into their easy-to-make recipes.
Inside you'll discover:
☀︎ Practical tips for everything from zero-effort oven
☀︎ cleaning and getting rid of limescale to banishing moths.
☀︎ Bullet-proof instructions for tackling every stain, from avocado to rust.
☀︎ How to make your home smell like a gorgeous natural spa.
Clever Cleaning is about making cleaning simpler, calmer and a little more joyful.
