It really would be best to wash the soil and roots off if that stuff is still in there it will continue to kill the plant.
It doesn't have much of a chance other wise.
I have had to do it before.
The ones I didn't do it to died even after I flushed water through the container.
Yesterday when I was potting up some of my Orange Russian that is what I did so I could get the plants lower in some of the smaller containers.
I washed the soil out of the root ball spread the roots out in the bottom of the container and used new soil.
Those plants never even knew it happened and are as happy as a clam today with no transplant shock what so ever.
