Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Baking soda and vinegar do so much.

You know I learned this secret from my grandmother many years ago and it is simply true!

Right now we are trying out Melaleuca's brand and so far so good we've been pleased.

It is a combination of vinegar and tea-tree oil.

I like Biokleen products -- especially their Laundry detergent and their all-purpose cleaner. Most of them are pretty concentrated so the bottles last a long time.

I have a few items listed on our blogThe Natural Catholic this is on the side bar .
I'm not sure what cleaners you are looking for ?
I love love Orangle apeel it cuts grease really well and gets oder out too. I use it in my mop water and I use it in the kitchen and bath areas . I mix it in a spray bottle with tea tree oil and water . 1T of orange apeel in the bottle does the trick .
for laundry soap I've used soap flakes and 7th generation etc. but the one I love now is Ecos laundry soap
I may be the only one who will say this but I do not like the smell of viniger . I have added essential oils but it still has the under lying scent of viniger .
In the wash I use borax and baking soda in regards to stains or if an oder is real bad .
I also remember that instead of bleach for items such as diapers sunlight , the natural stuff that is

and boiling work just as good as bleach . You can even do a boil in salt water if you like just remember to rinse very well as salt water washes can give rashes ( yes I've washed diapers in the ocean

I am recently thinking to begin using thyme in place of tea tree oil just to begin using more and more local growen ingredients . although I love citrus and that definately does not grow here . I do not think I could live without orange apeel
I also found this list when looking for links for our blog it is the Less Toxic Guide I was kind of impressed it is out of Canada

hope some of these ideas may help . I find using natural ingredients can even help cleaning become somewhat enjoyable at times

have fun , Roxie
