After 3-4 hours I drained out the bleached water. I agitated it with the end of a broom stick so the bleach is fully integrated with the water and the cloth. I filled my bathtub with hot water and put in the drop cloth and the bleach. If, like me, you do not have a top loading washer you can do it the old fashioned way.
