Remove stains from modern cloth nappies

Staining was often removed from traditional cloth nappies from soaking in chemical solutions, however soaking is discouraged for modern cloth nappies. These modern nappies often have a built-in liner of microfleece or suedecloth, polyester materials which keep your baby dry and deter stains. Over time, these materials may become slightly discoloured and stained, so how do you remove those stains? My number one tip is to hang the nappies in the sun - the sun naturally brightens the fabric. You could also make a paste from bicarb soda and water, apply this to the stains, let dry in the sun and wash as normal.

Do you have any other natural stain-removing tips? I would love to hear them!
