Answer:

When someone worries that their garments may be soiled with impurities that cannot be seen. Then these garments can be cleaned by washing the garment three times using clean water each time while squeezing the garments each time. (Al Fatawa al Hindiyyah pg 47 vol 1)[1]

Therefore, if there is genuine worry that these items were soiled with impurities they can be cleaned by washing three times with clean water.

[1] وإن كانت غير مرئية يغسلها ثلاث مرات كذا في المحيط و يشترط العصر في كل مرة فيما ينعصر و يبالغ في المرة الثالثة حتى لو عصر بعده لا يسيل منه الماء

Only Allah (عز و جل) knows best.
