I would add some bleach to the soapy water; maybe a 1 part bleach to 10 parts water(even if they have thread on them). This is what is used to prevent bacteria and viruses from growing. The thread will more likely not fade. I have used liquid bleach on hopelessly strained colored clothes(in a more concentrated solution) and not had a problem with fading. But just to be sure you can test it.
