I was thinking it might make sense to use a bit more. I got into the habit of using less because my work clothes didn't really need much and I didn't want detergent build up in the machine, but that doesn't really apply to the nappies. The last couple of loads I've done, I rinsed the nappies in used bathwater first and they came out loads better so I might get into the habit of that or do a quick prewash or rinse on the machine.
