I use chamois a lot to blend my drawings. How can I wash/clean the fabric to keep its softness?
Real chamois is specially treated leather; Rinse in plain water if needed; wash with a mild, neutral detergent (baby shampoo is great) and rinse multiple times in plain water if you're working with real chamois. If the leather is stiff after drying, roll it up with a damp cloth for a few minutes. If you're working with chamois cloth, most are nylon or polyester with a brushed or pile finish. Toss it in the washer and dryer.
