Do you have any photos of the plants? Are there any issues (yellowing, curling, burning, etc) reflected in the leaves of the plants?

Are they growing in full sun, full shade or partial shade?

The minimum temperatures of Townsville plus the humidity going by the Townsville, Queensland February 2013 Daily Weather Observations seem high.

What exactly are you referring to when you say detergent?

Have you considered not misting them given that plus the high humidity may encourage fungal growth?
 
To be honest, I wouldn't spray them with anything unless bugs have been showing up. In that case, a mineral oil spray would do just fine. It's available at your local garden center. Not sure if gnats are a problem, but are you sure they were gnats? Could've been white flies, which seemed to really LOVE my plants. Mineral oil took care of them. Also, if your plants are young, I've been told to expect some flower drop until the plants are mature enough to support fruiting. It might take a couple of flower cycles before the fruit shows up. Perfectly normal. Just keep feeding them.

As long as your leaves aren't yellowing, and they seem to have healthy growth, then they should be just fine. Yellowing and dropping leaves would be a sign of overwatering, BTW.... water once a week or so. Only when necessary. It stresses the plant and makes hotter fruit. Too much water will make bitter fruit

to post pictures, you need to upload them to a site like photobucket, flickr, or someplace like that. Copy the HTML code for the picture from that site.... From there, you click the little photo thingy below the smiley to the left on the message box and paste the html code in there
