I just use soapy water which is rinsed asap, then once dry use a lint roller to get all of the fluff off.

I've never cleaned one myself but have seen that jetwashes can have mixed effects depending on the material, so be careful .

Yeah must admit I only use mine on ours from a distance because I'm always worried that it might be too harsh.
