I started using Amolin wash....then i changed to Purity wash.

I use 1/4 to 1/2 cap full....doesnt get real bubbly in the water...so i figured i wasnt over using??

I don't use powder either as i am allergic to all of them if i touch something that has been washed in it. But i have not found them to be smelly at all. Maybe try a different brand one?

I use liquid too, not powder. I've never had a problem with smelly napppies.
We use some cheapo stuff from coles called earth. I'm too stingy to buy the expensive stuff.

I love all the ecostore products. THe powder sounds expensive but if it's anything like their other products then def worth it. I use the liquid laundry detergent on DDs clothes so she doesn't have any chemical stuff near her skin. I also wash her terry flats in it. I only use a small amount and a litre is doing me ages. I use about 2 tablespoons per wash.

I use the planet ark for clothes and MCNs no problems
but usually get whatevers on special, i reckon they're all the same in different packages...

I'm making my own powder for the washing, using 2 cups soap flakes, 1 cup bicarb, 1 cup washing soda and 1 cup of borax. Mix it all together and use 2 tbs for clothes and 1tbs for MCN. So far it has worked really well and is soooo cheap! I haven't had to buy powder for 3 months and have used less than 1/4 of my base ingredients...

The bonus is I know exactly what is going into the wash

I use the Bosistos eucalyptus powder. It has no fillers in it and doesn't irritate mine or DD's skin

I half-make my own powder. I buy FAB or Duo when it's on special and then mix 2 parts detergent powder with 1 part borax and 1 part bi carb. When washing nappies I use 1/4 of the scoop that came with the detergent. For normal clothes I use 1/2 a scoop.
