He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying,"Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes."God has the ability to make something holy. I will admit to not quite understanding how that works, given that the material world is entirely fallen. By my logic, it can't be purified to God's standard, without contaminating God.
But if God says something is clean, it's clean; that's why He's sovereign and perfect and I'm not. And should God declare someone righteous, he is righteous. I still have a lot of trouble remembering that in my head, for my sense of justice conflicts with God's declaration of mercy through Christ.
