I want to second that this is the correct answer. It's really common in chem labs for some grad student to immediately think "neutralize!" And it's always wrong: neutralizing releases a lot of heat, and just makes things worse. Water, water, and water are always the correct response. This can't be stressed enough. If you think you've washed long enough, good, you're a quarter of the way there.
