Odd stains on clothes washed in Japan?

Ok this one has been driving me mad for about 8 months so I’m finally coming to the wise sages or Reddit for help!

No matter what I do when I wash my clothes here in Japan I seem to end up with these odd stains on my black clothes after a wash and abit of an odd smell.

I have tried pretty much everything I can think of and at this stage it is prob easier to write a list of things I’ve tried to fix it.

– Change amount washing Liquid/Soft
– Change washing Liquid/Soft
– Switch to washing Pods only
– Made sure not to overload cycle
– Ran without drying function
– Drain unblocker used before hand
– Used washing machine cleaner
– Got a new machine Toshiba tw127xp1
– Ran maintenance cycles
– Called an Engineer to check all parts
– Engineer says machine is in great condition and we are using correctly and seems to have no idea the cause thus it is “acceptable”
– Checked the water inlet and it’s clean water not bath water.

I’m prob forgetting a few but I’d appreciate any help possible to solve this mystery.

Happy to invest money or pay to have a recommended engineer visit us near shinjuku. It sounds small but this has really driven our household abit mad so any advice or help would be massively appreciated!
