Forget about expensive branded products for cleaning, cooking, fixing, gardening, health and beauty. You can create your own traditional, ‘old-fashioned’ remedies and solutions using simple and safe ingredients from around the home and all for just cents. My grandma kept her home spot less, her cooking couldn’t be beaten and even in her 80s her complexion was that of someone 30 years younger. Grandad had the best garden for miles around, he was able to fix just about anything with bits and bobs from the garage and they both lived well into their 90s with hardly an illness to their name. They used traditional simple tips and tricks that had been passed down the genera tions. Many of these tips and tricks have been lost, so that’s why I’ve compiled all my grandparents tips plus more in The Traditional Household Handbook.
