Getting pepper spray out of clothing?

My daughter is going through a law-enforcement training and was pepper sprayed at close range. I did a bit of internet searching and we have washed her clothing four times now (top loader, cool water, heavy duty long cycle, extra rinse, Tide powder and FEBU). The garments are still a little spicy - after the last wash I touched a shirt to my face and there was a tingle for sure. I don't want to put them in the dryer with heat and bake in any remaining capsaicin. Any recommendations? Hang in the sun? Any particular soap or rinse agent I can use?
