They are relatively new but are looking very dingy. How do I get them clean again?

Right up Mamas alley...Hot water, and I don't mean the dubbed down hot in most washers now days, get that temp up to around 135 degrees f...Tide with bleach powder and a beautiful long soak..you may need to repeat this, but it should work.if you can get that temp even higher all the better.

Is the bleach powder in the Tide or a separate product?

Rochester-Tide with bleach powder, the bleach is in the Tide container already. That's what the box will say Tide with Bleach. Not separate.

I just did it. A cold prewash with oxyclean followed by a hot 140F wash with 1/2 tablespoon Miele Ultra White. Pillow covers cam out looking white and fresh.

I'm a little late to the group... but hot water, and a quality liquid detergent.. will also remove sweat. Reason being... Liquid Detergents tend to remove oilly-based stains better.

German Persil Gel or Tide Liquid would probably work great for this ;)
