I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but I wouldn't worry about getting the stains out.  I'd wash them on hot with a bit of detergent and some vinegar in the rinse and that is all.

Yes. They are diapers - they will operate the same way whether they are stained or not.

Honestly, I don't really like stains either even though I know it doesn't really make a difference. I would wash them with detergent, a little bleach and vinegar rinse and then hang them in the sun. It has gotten out all stains for me!
