The soak wash is the greatest idea, but , I wouldn't put it on my lawn today. It is the 18th of March for crying in the mud, and we have over a foot of snow on the ground and it doesn't look like it will ever stop

I soaked them in hot water and baking soda and some peroxide. Then I put them in the rinse cycle of my washing machine. They are "tanning" on top of our not-so-clean cars right now. Hopefully this will get the stink out so they can be quilted. I'll have to wash them when they're quilted too do I'm not that concerned with "dirt" as I am with whatever was on it before!!! Yuk

Yes, peroxide will fade, especially if it isn't mixed good, it will fade in spots. Oxy clean is good and also Calgon will remove stains. Years ago I almost ruined my baby diapers with hard water and clorox( those 2 sure don't mix). I set out a barrell and caught rain water and fixed a tub of water and calgon and let them soak overnight and they were snow white. After that Calgon was a staple at my house. Never forgot it.
