why not use less detergent?
I have to say I agree with Cas - why use detergent at all when you can use soap nuts? (Of course, I am *totally* biased but having chemical sensitivities for 4/5 people in our house just makes me all the more passionate).

I just do a heavy duty cycle (which just has three extra 2-min long non-agitation periods in the wash cycle to enable deep soaking). If I really need to I add vinegar or lemon juice to the rinse cycle - but I can't remember the last time I did that for nappies.

Cheers!
