I've seen people post in one of the other forums about soap nuts, those are totally natural and they say they work really well (I've never tried them myself) There's also a whole thread (actually several of them...it's so popular that it's been continued several times into new threads) in the Frugal Living forum about homemade laundry soaps, I bet you'll find lots of ideas there. Here's the current installment of the thread, but at the top of the current one there's a link back to the previous thread so you can read all of them if you want to http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/540316/
I use 7 th generation, HE and very concentrated. The perfume of it isn't for everybody, but I am sure they have fragrance free stuff. Before I had a new washer I used Mrs. Meyers, and although they say it's HE compatible, I daren't use it anymore with this spanking new machine. But before it worked really well.
