For fruit stains, like that of the raspberry, I find spray-"and" wash
the best thing. It actually fades the stain before it hits the washing
machine. Berry stains will indeed turn a nasty shade of gray if washed
in ordinary soap without pre-treatment.
Don't know about your random stains. Might they have been in the cloth
as produced?
