i think you will still have to use some detergent - or else you could try code wash balls (from greenbeans). the vinegar neutralises the detergent and i think it is about a half cup or so in the fabric dispenser. i used to just sprinkle some baking soda in the machine, maybe a tablespoon or so worth. (most nappy manufacturers recommend using half the amount of detergent.)
i dont use chemicals - other than washing powder - no nappisan for me, and sometimes i will put a few drops of ti-tree oil in the fabric dispenser. occasionally i use canestan or detoll too but normally only if the kids have been unwell. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

You don't need to soak nappies at all in fact you shouldn't!
We just use 1/2 scoop of ecostore powder and our nappies come up loverly! 
I'm curious to try those washing balls from Greenbeans though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have always only washed Brennas clothes in baking soda (cause of excema(spl??) on face). I'm guessing that will work with the nappies?? -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months
