We do cold water washes with our diapers and just about everything else except the cloths we use for cleaning. We add vinegar to the conditioner drawer of our washing machine for our diapers. We dry pail our diapers, and we use something called eco-balls so we use no detergent at all, and don't need the rinse cycle unless it's a diaper+vinegar wash.
Eco-balls have gotten out everything that we've thrown at them, except for oils, but they can be pre-treated before the wash. Any stubborn-looking stains get a squirt of lemon juice or hung out in the sun.
