Dollar General Store has a bottle of stuff for 2 dollars called "AWESOME".spary on, rub, let soak , then wash. It works.awesome!
I use Era to remove stains on items that can be washed either by machine or by hand. Pour a little Era on the stain and let it sit for half an hour or so and then launder as usual. It will take out grease, spaghetti sauce, and other stubborn stains.
Make a paste of vinegar and baking soda. Cover stains and allow to set for an hour. Wash as usual and repeat as necessary.
Try a non-chlorinated bleach stick. I buy mine at:

It works wonders on dried stains!
Good luck!
Most stains will come out if you soak them first in cold water. add a small amount of dish washing soap rub in with your fingers , leave a few min´s , then rinse ,before popping the clothes into your machine. Myself I use good old fashioned soap, Natural Soap. Soak the garment in cold water, remove from water. Rub the soap on . Leaving the soap on for 1/2 hr and free from water. Back to the water give a little rub to the stain. Next add more soap,leave the soap on and pop into your machine on a 40ºc wash. The sun will do the rest of the work for you, If there is any remaining stains after washing this way , the sun will bleach them out the natural way
If the clothes can tolerate *hot water try Biz it's a stain booster, but it works on colors & whites. It comes in a box you can find it in the detergent isle I did have a hard time tracking it down, but it did the trick. You can either make a paste w/ it for deep spots, pre soak, or just add to your wash. The thing is the warmer the water the better, but if you are worried about 100% baby cotton things use *warm and pre soak then wash it. It sounds like a lot of work, but again it has worked for me and I have gotten grease, bbq sauce, charcoal, grass, you name it out. Good Luck. ///('~' )///

In the Laundry and for Removing Stains
Soften fabrics, kill bacteria, eliminate static, and more
There are so many benefits to be reaped by adding 1 cup white vinegar to your washer's rinse cycle that it's surprising that you don't find it prominently mentioned inside the owner's manual of every washing machine sold. Here are the main ones:
A single cup of vinegar will kill off any bacteria that may be present in your wash load, especially if it includes cloth diapers and the like.
A cup of vinegar will keep your clothes coming out of the wash soft and smelling fresh -- so you can kiss your fabric-softening liquids and sheets good-bye (unless, of course, you happen to like your clothes smelling of heavy perfumes).
A cup of vinegar will brighten small loads of white clothes.
Added to the last rinse, a cup of vinegar will keep your clothes lint- and static-free.
Adding a cupful of vinegar to the last rinse will set the color of your newly dyed fabrics.
Pat away water-soluble stains
You can lift out many water-soluble stains -- including beer, orange and other fruit juices, black coffee or tea, and vomit --from your cotton-blend clothing by patting the spot with a cloth or towel moistened with undiluted white vinegar just before placing it in the wash. For large stains, you may want to soak the garment overnight in a solution of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part cold water before washing.
Unset old stains
Older, set-in stains will often come out in the wash after being pretreated with a solution of 3 tablespoons white vinegar and 2 tablespoons liquid detergent in 1 quart (1 liter) warm water. Rub the solution into the stain, then blot it dry before washing.
Sponge out serious stains
Cola, hair dye, ketchup, and wine stains on washable cotton blends should be treated as soon as possible (that is, within 24 hours). Sponge the area with undiluted vinegar and launder immediately afterward. For severe stains, add 1-2 cups vinegar to the wash cycle as well.
Clear away crayon stains
Somehow or other, kids often manage to get crayon marks on their clothing. You can easily get these stains off by rubbing them with a recycled toothbrush soaked in undiluted vinegar before washing them.
Vinegar is safe for children of all ages and will not harm clothes even will help keep your washing machine working longer and keep those hoses clean and clear and clean all the parts in your machine
Soak in a 50/50 mixture of borax and water for an hour. Wash as usual. Borax is a naturally ocurring mineral, so it won't damage delicates.
why not soak them and get as much of the food, puke, poop off as possible when it is moist?
