Help clothes still smell of cuprinol after washing!

Hubby and ds did some fence painting with cuprinol today. When they came in I realised ds had got a bit on his clothes so chucked them in the wash along with a full load of colours.

Just taken the washed load out and it all stinks on cuprinol! I would be scared to light a match!

I've chucked it all back in again but am panicking that I have ruined a whole batch of clothes and potentially my washing machine. I am due to give birth to ds2 in four days I cannot have this!!!

Please help!!

Can you hang them outside for the smell to dissipate? Run machine on hottest, longest wash with soda crystals or vinegar. Re wash the ordinary clothes separately from the decorating gear. I don't know whether any of this will be necessary, but it should shift the smell.
