Very peculiar, and impossible to diagnose from afar. My suggestion:
carry a couple of pieces of the stained items to the best local
drycleaner, and query them. Dry cleaning business owners usually have
extensive training in all aspects of fabrics and stains, and 99% of the
time, they won't charge you just for looking at a stained item.

I'm curious, so please let us know the verdict.
