Pippin:
I'm sure Fred and George  cleaned up many messes before Molly found out about them.  But considering the chopping, mixing and accidental splattering that goes on in Potions, the inherent messiness of Herbology and CoMC(think about it), and the activities of Fred, George and Peeves, I'd guess filthy robes are nothing out of the ordinary at Hogwarts. We never hear of anyone worried that they've ruined their clothes, do we? So I guess the House Elves are pretty good stain removers.
