How do I wash/dry/care for my Little Beetle diapers?

For starters, your Little Beetle diapers do not need repeated pre-washing: once will do so long as you know that they will continue to gain absorbency with the first 8+ washes.
We recommend a cold pre-wash/wash or rinse first, then a hot wash (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not boil your diapers as this can ruin the elastic. Use a small amount of laundry detergent each time (too much detergent can create a residue). Use vinegar occasionally in the rinse to help keep the diapers soft. And please, no fabric softener or treatments of any kind. These can ruin a diaper's absorbency. For more on detergent choices, see the question below.
It may not be realistic every time, but the more you can dry your diapers on low or medium the longer their life will be. Line drying is always a wonderful, planet happy choice (tossing into the dryer for the last few minutes can soften up even the crunchiest hemp diapers).
