Non-diaper laundry question

in Cloth Diapering
Hi ladies! I lurk some and basically learned the ins and outs of cloth diapering from you all. I'm wondering if someone can help me with my unpaper towel/cloth napkin/bib laundry. I sometimes have been getting what I think is mold or mildew (not sure) that doesn't seem to wash out. There are black spots that stay through multiple washes. What is this stuff and how can I get it out & prevent it in the future?

    How long are you going between washing and how are you washing them? Wash routine?

    Roughly every third day. Wash in hot water some times on the "heavy soiled" setting with powdered detergent and occasionally bleach. I also have a "sanitize" setting on the washer but that takes over two hours so I've only done it a handful of times. Dry in the dryer on high heat.

    Ah, I meant how are you storing them, not to ask wash routine twice.

    Could it be a stain of some sort?

    Sounds like they got a little mildewed and it stained. Don't let them sit around wet.

    We have a cabinet that's got a trash can that we use as a hamper for them. But it's a wire basket with no lid not a can so it allows for some circulation.
