How clean should they be?

[wishfulthinking1]

Hi all,
I've been using some old cotton LL nappies that I've been lent- I've been really pleased with them so far. Only thing is, they always come out of the washer stained- always. They're clean, as when I hang them on the line they're fine in 10 minutes, but are the supposed to come out stained? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Just depends what they have been eating I think.

Lots of mine come out stained but bleaxh clean again in the sun. As lppng as they are well rinsed and don't smell, I wouldn't worry what they look like.

Mine come out stained all the time. Fades in the sun or after a few more washes (I don't re-wash them though, but I just mean once they've been used again & washed again). As long as they don't smell I assume they're clean. I think it's just the pigment in certain foods, rather than them still being dirty.
