Is it possible to clean bike chain rags back to being completely white?

Hello

Is it actually possible to get rags that have been used to clean a bike chain to be completely white again?
If so how?

So far I have tried:
- Soaking in washing up liquid,
- boiling in Aerial "All in 1 pods"
- soaking in distilled malt vinegar.
- household bleach
- soaking in "Muck Off"
Nothing really works at scale... It's like the microscopic metal fillings in the oil have gone right into the fibres.

Confession:
The problem is that I have used some household microfibre clothes. I have order some more but my housemate isn't happy(!)

Either way, it would be nice to have an efficient solution to the problem.
