The Photek stuff is washable. I've had mine nearly twenty years and it
has been washed several times. Cold water, Woolite, of course. To
pick stuff off the surface get a BIG one of those link rollers, the
ones with sticky surface that you peel off when it gets too much crud
on it. They come in big sizes, just a bit harder to find than the
small ones. I run one over my Photek fabric before each use.
