Soak them in Oxyclean or borax laundry booster over night, ring out or spin, then wash them adding the same thing in with your laundry soap. It may take more than one time to get them clean, but it works on badly stained baby clothes. It even removes dried in blood. I have used the borax soak for years, all throught kids time at home and still use it.

If it's from sweat stains I use a combination of 1 part hydrogen peroxide, 1 part dawn dish soap and it works beautifully. If it's from washing with dark clothes you could try vinegar.

I don't know if the goal here is to go green but I ADORE TIDE PODS! I took an old t-shirt -about five years old and had yellowed to an awful shade of grunge - tossed it in my washer on the lowest water setting with ONE Tide Pod agitated it for a few minutes- lifted the lid and left it over night . Filled the tub the rest of the way in the morning - tossed in the rest of the load and it was like magic how bright and new that old shirt looked. The stuff is amazing on colors to. Brightens things like nothing I have ever used before. I keep a bag of them handy for all loads that need special help. I have gotten rid of bleach completely in my laundry room.
