I put them in a dry pail.
There is a setting on my washer called prewash. Prewash cold, no soap.
Then wash HOT with 1/2 normal amount of soap.
Rinse cold or warm.
Hang to dry.

I use a liner to catch solids, but if we have a spill over I scrub the nappy by hand. Then I shake it open and put it in my nappy bucket (full of water and nappysan). I use a wooden spoon to make sure it's submerged. At the end of the day I pull out all the nappies in the bucket and wash them on a normal wash.
I should say that I use the old fashioned terry towelling nappies, so I just do what my mother and grandmothers did.
Now that I'm branching out into fancy modern nappies I have to learn a new way. I don't soak them or anything, I just dry pail them and wash them on a normal setting (once I've removed solids). I've ordered a wetbag to keep them in while I'm out of the house.
I hang mine to dry.

I remove any solids, i usually give them a rinse before I put them in an empty bucket (one of the care instructions said of bub is teething it can be a good thing to rinse out the npapies even if they are only wet).
I sometimes do a rinse cycle first (depending on how many of them were pooey!) then I do a normal wash, with a tiny bit of powder, then I do a rinse at the end to make sure there are no suds left in them.
I Dry them on a clothes hanger in the sun... I usually finish them off in the drier as it makes them a little softer.

I rinse them by hand and throw them in my fancy $2 pail from Wal-Mart.
Permanent press with hot and cold (My only hot option) with Free and Clear All (They say not to use it, but I have a high efficiency washer and I've only had them leak when a dryer sheet snuck into the dryer.
Once a week I wash them with OxyClean powder as the instructions said.
Dry them in the dryer.

According to your faith will it be done to you
How you wash will depend on your specific diapers.
For me and our BG 3.0s:
Poopy breastmilk or wet diapers go straight into the dry pail, solid food poopy diapers get washed off first then go into the dry pail
I do a short cold wash first
Then a hot wash with soap (I use Allen's Naturally)
Then another hot wash
Then hang outside or put in the drier depending usually on how quick I need them dry
About once a month I run a bleach cycle between the soap cycle and hot wash cycle to make sure there are no nasties building up.

Pretty much the same, though I throw everything but my covers and pockets in the dryer unless I can hang them on the line at my ILs. We use Purex F&C soap.

With my BG's here's what we do.
Wet diapers go in a dry pail.
Poopy diapers get rinsed day of poop, day after at the latest and put in a dry pail after.
Wash on the hottest setting we have (cooking setting -- 95C) or next hottest (60C) depending on our hot water situation that day, with a prewash (no soap) and extra rinse.
I'm not sure how cold or hot the prewash is in each setting, but I'm thinking 'cool' or 'warm' -- it never felt hot when I touched the front loader before.
Generally speaking, unless we have had a dirty poop diaper go a while without a wash, we have had no staining. I have a couple diapers and inserts I need to sun - but that is it.
We wash ALL of our clothes in about 1 Tsp to 1 1/2 Tsp soap, which is far less than our HE front loader reccommends (it reccommends almost 1/4 cup soap, kid you not!!), but it reduces our problems with itchy skin, comes clean and leaves no extra soap in the machine.
I have been known after just doing a prewash to put in his dirty clothes and wash along if I do not have a full load going.

I use the washer as my pail.
Rinse cycle, if only pee diapers nothing if poop I add 1/2 cup vinegar.
10 minute regular cycle wash with 1/4 cap full of 2x strength Purex Free and Clear.
The flats and Gerber diapers and covers hang dry I put Chinese Pre-folds in the drier. If they are stiff I'll put them in the drier and they'll get soft again.
