Diaper laundry

This is something people write about a lot.  If you do cloth diapers you fully understand how it can easily take over your life if you let it.
I find that I now schedule things around washing diapers or will was my diapers early if I can help it.  Hopefully this won't last much longer for a few reasons.
Here are some helpful hints to consider.

1. Find a routine, keep it simple, and stick to it.
2. Get a schedule that is easy for you.
3. Buy a few more diapers than you really need.  It helps if for any reason you find yourself having to delay your schedule.  This is also a good idea because an illness can dramatically also speed up your need to wash.
4. Hang dry as much as you can.  This is especially true if you have aplex diapers.  It can greatly extend the life of your diapers.
5. Sun them, but don't over sun them.  Don't leave them hanging for hours at a time.  This will cause a shorter life span for your diapers.

Can you think of any hints that have helped you with your routine?
