The "dirt" is just the fine grains that will end up clouding the tank and then get removed by the filter/water changes anyways. I highly suggest rinsing as well, I thought I did enough and it was still a bit cloudy and I didn't even use it for the entire substrate.

Really doubt you'll be washing away much of anything other than the smaller particles. Seachem says it's ok...

Although pre-washed, it may be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling aquarium slowly and dispersing water so that the Flourite® bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours). To shorten the cloudiness period use Clarity™ in conjuction with mechanical filtration (such as filter floss).
But you can minimize the dust and take care of it later if you want.
