Berries
Berries contain anthocyanins — the same pigment group as red wine, but with even more varied chemical composition depending on the berry type. Blueberries are hardest, lingonberries easier.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains a lot of fat — perfect for super-fatted soap.
Grease / Cooking Oil
Fat and oil are hydrophobic — they repel water and bind to textile fibers. The 'like dissolves like' principle is key: fat dissolves fat, and a fatty acid-based soap emulsifies the grease away.
Fruit / Juice
Stains from fruit and fruit juice.
