It's not unusual for cloth diapered kids to be potty trained six months before those using disposable diapers. Use hot water and soap, instead of detergent. Ivory flakes is a good choice. Avoid anything with borax or borates. If you use a whitener such as bleach, double rinse.
Sunlight is a natural germ killer and makes everything smell very nice.
Sun drying helps reduce diaper rash, but using the clothes dryer works too. When machine drying, clean the lint trap often, especially when diapers are new. Rinse baby's bottom often. Soaps are not always necessary, as baby poop is water soluble. If you use soap, rinse well.
