Why use chemicals to clean your home when lemon juice, vinegar, eucalyptus oil and bicarb soda are equally effective - and much cheaper!

Now in a new, revised and expanded edition, Robin Stewart's Chemical-Free Home provides somple, effective and chemical-free alternatives for creating a healthier home environment. Most of the products that Robin recommends are so safe you can ... and do ... eat them - olive oil, salt, vinegar, bicarb soda, honey and cloves.

The household procedures are extremely easy to follow, economical and environmentally friendly. Everyone is affected by chemicals to some degree. Everyone benefits from reducing their use.

Tips for a sparkling clean modern home include:

• Robin's favourite polish for timber and leather is simply equal parts of olive oil and vinegar

• Copper-based saucepans shine brilliantly after a rub with half a lemon dipped in salt

• Carpet stains come away easily using a combination of soda water and bicarb soda

• Wash windows using vinegar and very hot water to produce a clean, streak-free surface

• Brushing teeth with bicarb soda on a moist toothbrush will keep teeth clean and free of plaque
