Hi Wendy. Here's a link that says they need to be cotton to take the dye successfully:

I have heard borax will whiten them some but if you want them white white I would try dying them with chalk paint. https://salvagedinspirations.com/dos-donts-when-dyeing-fabric-with-chalky-paint/
Rit makes a line of Synthetic Fabric dyes. They work, but it takes a long time of pushing the fabric back down in the stove-top pot.
If I paint them white can they be washed??
