Hey Joe,
Paula isn't on the message board, but here's what she posted on facebook.
Aweeeee!! Thanks for the shout out!! Instructions for the wash-out: By now, you can take your beauties and rinse them in the hottest water you can stand WITH GLOVES!! Then when the water become a little clearer, then hang them up to dry on a hanger. When they are totally dried out, then throw ONLY THE TIED-DYED shirts in the washer, on cold, on the gentle cycle. Set the washer to spin the heck out of them and hang them to dry. Viola!!! You can steam or iron them to make your colors POP when you wear them. Where them proud all you Happy VW Hippies!! Peace, Paula
