  I used regular hydrogen peroxide.  It is much cheaper and it the same thing as oxy-clean.  I put 1/4 of a cup in the hot wash, it works great on stains and odors.

  Here are some instructions on oxyclean if you decide to use it, This is from www.sunshinediapers.com
  

  Oxygen Bleach: Wonderful stuff! When my diapers just don?t seem fresh, or they?re dingy or all stained, it?s time for an intense cleaning. In the evening, run diapers through your normal wash routine (rinse, wash, rinse). Fill the washer with very hot water (this stuff works best in hot water) and add the oxygen bleach. I?m not talking 1 scoop - do this only occassionally and go with 4 or 5. Agitate it to help it dissolve. Let it soak overnight (actually, it remains ?active? for 4-6 hours, so overnight is not neccessary, but often convenient), finish the wash cycle, and do a final rinse in the morning. They?ll look and smell like new again.

  Most of us know this as ?Oxy-Clean?. It?s safe for the environment, safe for fabrics, safe for sensitive skin, and it works fabulously. The liquid version would be hydrogen peroxide - totally benign to the environment. It will even help kill viruses and bacteria (good to do after baby is sick). I?ve seen sites that say ?no? to oxy-cleaners, but I can find no evidence of why that would be nor have any of the textiles people I?ve spoken to been able to think of a reason why.

  I have done this- if you can let them soak overnight it's really great for helping get rid of stains- but it can make your OBV go from being cream colored to be more white.
