Default Another Spray Baste Question

I've been using 505 Temporary Adhesive spray in quilts now and then, and I always wash the completed quilt before giving it to anyone, particularly babies. More recently I've been using the same product for machine embroidery. It's great for keeping the stabilizer firmly in contact with stretchy fabric, such as a t-shirt. However, because these embroidered items are not sandwiched, after they are washed I'm able to see and feel the back where the spray was. I was dismayed to discover that the spray does not wash out as I always assumed it would. That means all the quilts that I have spray basted have gone into use with this chemical inside of them. It was only then that I noticed the product actually says you are supposed to dry clean to remove the spray! Who dry cleans quilts or t-shirts?!!!

I don't remember this from other brands of spray products and don't have any around at the moment for comparison. If you have some other brand, please check and post what they say about removal.
