Mineral Spirits are frequently used in parts washers, I am not familiar wiith Buffalow though.

Since it says to only use water based solvents then using an oil based solvent (minerial spirits) will probably make it leak all over the place - and it would also be a serious fire hazzard

leave your washer door open. Most of the smell is the ammonia. It can dissapate. You could add some dawn to the washer and let it fill up on hot but stop it from agitating more than 30 seconds. Let the hot water sit for a few hours. Then switch the washer to spin and drain. This should go a long way to get rid of the smell. Gasoline soaked clothes have done that to my washer before. Used to fix up a lot of old cars, tractors and small engines and I seem to get it all over me in spades.

Harbor Freight sells a water based concentrate for the parts washer that works really good. The 1 gallon jug will last you a lifetime because you can really dilute it. You could also try Simple Green concentrate and water. I wouldn't use mineral spirits.
