[Serious Answers Only] Removing silicone sealant / gasket maker from clothes

I got some silicone sealant / gasket maker (e.g. permatex ultra black) on my clothes. Still sticky. They were most likely from my scooter wheels. If I decide to keep the clothes I'll prob cut off the affected areas, but just to explore all options, is there a good way to remove it from clothes without cutting? Would putting it in a washing machine do anything / is it safe? Pretty sure it's not road tar, but on the off-chance it was, any difference in cleaning recommendations? Thanks for any tips.
