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.
The shammy is crafted for this exact purpose. The poly-vinyl material enables the cloth to absorb a large amount of water. Once the water is absorbed, you can quickly wring it out and it becomes dry once again. This unique attribute allows the shammy to replace bulky cotton towels that stay wet after a single use.
