Unfortunately, it's not that it "might" shrink some - because it will shrink some - so be prepared for that.

Ain't that the truth! Back in the BRGC days (before reproduction grille cloth) I used cloth from an old console to replace what was in my Philco 70. I gently hand washed it in Woolite but between the unraveling at the edges and the shrinkage I barely had enough.

I've got a gallon of Coleman fuel I'm going to try next time I need to clean some grille cloth. From my understanding it is White Gas which is supposedly naphtha which I've been told is also used in dry cleaning. Can't remember who told me that now, but I'll try it on a scrap piece first.
