Baby poop and front loading washers

With DS I had top loader and I would just spray Oxyclean stain stuff on his poop marks and wash normally.  I had no issues with staining.  With DD I have front loaders and I am using the same spray.  I have yet to have one come out of the washer clean.  Anyone else experiencing this?  What type of stain spray are you guys using.  I feel terrible b/c my sweet SIL loaned me tons of clothes and I feel like I am ruining them all!  TIA!

    I am EBF.  I will try the sun trick.  My mom said she used to put my nappies in the sun to air dry and it made them bright white.  I forgot about that!

    I don't have a front load washer, but definitely recommend sunning. It works great!

    We are FF/BF. I've been using spray and wash, and so far everything has come out fine.

    Wet the stain spot and sun dry.  Sometimes it takes more than once, but seriously the best stain remover EVER.  And its free!

    Does it have to be full sun? We aren't seeing it much these days.

    I have scrubbed the spot with dish soap if still wet then washed. I was going to put in the sun to dry but that took it out so I just hung it to dry. Remember not to dry in washer or it's set in.

    I always used where you could see the sun coming through the window, so I'm not sure how direct it needs to be.  Hopefully it works, but may just take longer.  I usually sprayed the stain through out the day too.

    I have this bottle of cleaner that I borrowed from my mom to clean something a while ago. It is called awesome and it really works well. I had a onesie that sat in the hamper for a few days with some poop stains on it (middle of the night change so I didnt know it had that on it at the time, I thought it was only pee) but it took the stains right out.
