To clean a shammy, place it in a washing machine with traditional detergent, or hand wash it with soap and warm water. Just make sure to never place your shammy in a dryer! This will damage the absorbency of the material, and ruin your product.
A shammy will often come in portable plastic cylinder-shaped container. After use, wring out your shammy, fold it, and place it back into the container. Wait until all water has evaporated before you place the cap back on the container. If you do place the cap on too early, the cloth can produce mildew.
