When I rip it out of my gardens (I am alergic so I use rubber gloves)I then wash my rubber gloves twice with that citrus degreaser. I do this outdoors. Then I wash the clothes with detergent twice. You probably could spray the degreaser on the clothes (I have tried it on cotton work clothes with no ill effects) I would not do that to anything down and would spot test anything of value or that has a waterproof finish. By the way even the roots can cause a reaction.
