I think someone did try but they colour didn't take very well.

I had some of these that were pretty dirty a couple of years ago, I tried bleach first too and it didn't do much to some of the marks.

I put them in socks tied the top and stuck them in the washing machine to get the grease off them as much as possible then soaked them in pure bleach.

If you've a dishwasher stick them in it.

They came out a lot better not perfect but just used looking not boggin   :LolLolLolLol:

I'd do it the other way round, dishwasher, bleach see what they are like, white is pretty sought after even if it's a wee bit dirty because they where standard on one of the burners,

Dye with Rit if they don't come out any good, blue used to be the most sought after colour.
