How to spring clean cloth naps

Our cloth naps have been on the go now for almost 11 months. They have no stains and are still in great shape but I'm wanting to give them a good old zap with something to get them REALLY clean, smelling great and looking bright again. Any ideas??

How 'bout a wash in biological with scoop of something like vanish or oxiclean? If they're white you could risk a packet of white brightening stuff, the name of which has totally escaped me atm. If you do anything chemically like that then I'm sure a couple of rinses after the cycle has finished would get rid of any residue.

hang them out on the line on a brigth sunny day. If you can leave them out overnight on a frosty night that should soften them up as well.

Cheers guys. I live in the desert so they are always in 30-50C sun and we only have biological over here [sad} - I guess that's why they don't have any stains. Just wondering if there was something on the market that sanitises and whitens. I'll give this "oxiclean" stuff a go I think. Cheers.
