Cloth Diapering

I'm new to CD so probably easy question

I have about 12 new CD I want to prep. 2 are bamboo and know those need to be washed separately due to natural oils but as far as prep/wash that's all I know. I got a sample of some detergent with an order but not sure how much to use. So..

1. How much detergent ?
2. Cold/warm/ hot water?
3. Regular cycle?
5.regular dry cycle or delicates, hot warm?
6. How many washes for prep

If it helps the brands are all kawaiis, alvas and little monsters which though the snap panels look diff I've heard are alvas rebranded

    2. hot wash, cold rinse. If you see suds in the rinse do another rinse.  

    3. I did regular cycle

    5. I did low dry.

    6. Depends on the fabric. Bamboo needs 10 wash/dries to
