It`s going to depend on the type of material. Is it porous or not?

VERY. It will probably hold 20 gallons of water.

Ive yet to find a good way to clean mine. I may try taking it out someday and cleaning it. Its just hard to clean it while its on the hood.

I only use a damp cloth and try to rub any dust that might be on it.

Most important of all DO NOT DRESS this material. It is fire retardant and a good safe guard for a minor underhood fire when driving.

If it is extremely soiled just purchase a new one. They are not very expensive.
