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?

We're in the process of sorting, washing-musty-out, and re-packing
the fabric stash and have discovered about 5 pieces of mostly-white,

spots. We've only really noticed this tonite. Doesn't seem to be
occuring on the white cottons (I think).
I'm planning to pre-treat with Clorox2, and then cold-launder with
Clorox2. Have just had real good luck with that with a cotton bra
that got a raspberry down it all day 8-).... which stain started
pinkish, and then turned sort of blackberry dark blue/black as I
tried to wash it out.
