Soap in filter sock - Toss'em?

So I was rinsing out my filter sock in a bucket in the sink and left for a few minutes.

When I came back, there were suds in the water. My daughter had washed her hands over the bucket.

Not sure if a trace amount of soap is a problem. It's supposed to be all natural. Sol U Guard Sun Valley by Melaleuca.

150 gallon fish only.

Soap ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Acrylates Coplymer, Frangrance (Parfum), Sodium Hydroxide, Thyme Oil, BenzontriaZolyl Dedecyl, p-Cresol, Aloe Vera extract, Yellow 5 (CI19140) Blue 1 (42090)

Just as a note, ARSENIC is 'all natural.' That label just means no franken-chemicals. And yes, I'd rinse them mightily and then use them without fear.

^Thank you, I indeed took "all natural" with a grain of salt.
