You can set it out in the sun to dry after you bleach it. But I would keep it alive. Its worth more money unless you had some kind of pest problem.

I usually leave it outside for a week then give it a scrub. The sun should lighten the color of it. You could use bleach and then rinse well. Muriactic acid can also be used for dipping.
