Interesting question. I just ran my own test using a selection of 3 the frozen berries you mentioned below: blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

I thoroughly ground in the berries into 3 separate sections of a white cotton towel. I let the stain sit on the towel over night.

Using the tips to remove berry stains http://www.mrscleannw.com/tips/berry-stains.html I rinsed the stains in very hot (boiling) water.

My findings:

    - The Raspberry stain came out quickly and easily.
    - Strawberry was a bit more stubborn than the raspberry stain, but came out fairly easily with the boiling hot water.
    - Blueberry was the last to come out, and took a bit of extra attention. I was able to get it removed completely after about 45 minutes soaking in the hot water.
