If you decide to wash it, wash it with cold water. You could even soak it in cold water with a bit of mild soap. Cold water will not make it shrink.

I'll give it a try .
Thank you all
Well I would not do it with a TM strop, but my Dovo got quite dirty. I washed it with ivory soap and it did shrink. I had to lay it down and put weight on it, and then really pulled it back into position. I would probably never do it again, but the strop seems fine and even took out the TI white paste.
Although I've never tried it myself, I've heard of some people using waterless hand cleaners on their strop. Perhaps this would reduce the side effects (i.e. possible shrinkage) of using water? Remember, I've NEVER tried this, so don't think it's good advice, just throwing some ideas out there!
