I used the juice of one lemon, 1/3 cup washing soda, 1/4 cup OxyClean, and 1/4 cup non-chlorinated bleach in about 3 gallons of water for 3 hours. The mixture bubbled a lot, took out some color the water was blue, but this was more like washing them 3 or 4 times than acid washing. But the fade has begun so we'll see where it leads next time through the wash!
