How do you wash your cloth diapers?

My baby hasn't been born yet, but I'm all set to use cloth diapers. I plan on just scooping out as much of the chunks as possible and washing them like regular clothes - then popping them in the dryer. They say your supposed to hang dry them, but it's winter up here like 7 months out of the year so that's not really possible unless I want diapers hanging all over my house lol. I will put them out in the sun once and awhile in the summer though, because that will help bleach out some of the stains that will likely build up. Good luck!
