You can soak the fabrics (one color per bowl) in bowls of hot water and dry the pieces on towels or hang them on hangers to dry.
I've had excess dye from at least one gold, green, red, and black fabric.
But it's your project.

My bottle of Retayne has=G & K Craft Industries LTD. Somerset, Ma 02726-0038. I got mine at Darma Trading Co.
I always prewash and use a color catcher. You can test a small piece of fabric to see if it will bleed. If it does please use Retayne. BrendaK

Ginger, with older fabrics and black, red and green, please do prewash. Like suggested, use just a bowl of hot water, soak, swish with some dish soap and rinse and blot dry. I'd be so concerned with those older fabrics not holding color like we expect with newer things. Good luck, looking forward to seeing your project.
