Well, first thing you gotta do is go smack the ole lady around--jk :-P. If it was just a couple dollars I'd just save it for other uses. Why mess around?

Inorganic fertilizers tend to wash right off, or out of plants mediums. Where as when you grow in true living organics the bacteria and fungi secrete a slime to stick themselves to soil particles. making it much harder if not impossible to leach off. With that out of the way you should be able to wash it off. Try to soak the perlite in a warm water organic soap mix. Since perlite floats mix well, rinse repeat!
