    I use a brand called Earth Choice. I got it from Coles. I use it because it was cheaper than most of the other brands (yeah I am stingy!) and I can get it in a giant bulk pack really cheap. Its a liquid though. Cant say I've ever used a powder on my nappies.

    I used to use Amolin liquid but it made my nappies stink...

    So i now use OMO Sensitive (has no fragrance)

    I use Euca powder. You can buy 10kg buckets from mitre10 for about $45 and it will last for months. It's brilliant stuff and I use it for everything!

    You want anything without any fragrances or whiteners, etc. Those detergents marked "sensitive". Also, powder detergents are recommended over liquids.

    I found Aware Sensitive by Planet Ark for front and top-loaders in powder form. You can buy it at Coles. It's really good value because it's super super concentrated and you don't have to use very much at all.

    I am using Earth Choice liquid for our clothes, but because it's a liquid I bought the Planet Ark powder for the nappies.

    I second the Aware Sensitive powder - it's great stuff. I used to use Earth's Choice liquid when we had a top loader, but it's overfriendly with my front loader (foams everywhere), so I use a powder now instead.
