Not sure what to tell you about cleaning them, I'd say just wear them and let the stains be part of the finished product.

Febreze is an odor remover, doesn't help with stains.

I tend to dry-clean my jeans for the first six months, and it's doesn't have a terrible effect on the patch. But for odd stains, I use hand washing soap on the affected patch, and rinse the affected patch only.

Dry cleaning for the first six months does give a good high contrast. Check out the OLD lees of mine on this auction...

just get a cloth, wet it with warm water put some soap on the cloth the stains should come out

Not sure! I suppose they reached that stage after two years, maybe? Generally I would dryclean for 6-9 months, during which they stay very dark, then they start to look really good after one or two conventional washes at 30 degrees.

I have around four pairs in a similar state, all 31/31, which I am clearing out if anyone's interested, plus around three more in a newer state.
