i used to repair dry cleaning machines. they are nothing more than a front load washer that uses a chemical rather than soap and water. so thats a non starter. older perchlorethylene machines might even melt what you have if it is synthetic. on my 48-482 i removed the grill cloth and let it soak in strong dish soap/water  solution. the method is to squeeze not rub it against itself. as it was sun faded.so after i rinsed and dried it i flipped it around  and reglued it back on. considering i couldnt find anything really close, gold with a reddish tint  im reasonably happy although like most times at bat it would be better with practice. beware of irish pennants during the re-glue if you re use it .
