If I wash Lactobacillus cells with LiCl to remove an S-layer protein, are lipoteichoic acids removed from bacterial cells too?

I am extracting S-layer proteins from L. helveticus by washing cells with LiCl 5M. I was wondering if a significant amount of lipotheicoic acids (LTAs) can be co-extracted. How can I verify if LTAs are present in my preparation?
