How does one clean a fabric Rovner Ligature (MK3)? I have looked everywhere for info. and cannot find anything. There is one tiny spot I'd like to get off- it's not imperative, but I figured if anyone would know it would be you guys!

Try the least drastic measures first and then escalate:
1. Live with it. The first time your new car gets dirty or a bird dive bombs it, it seems like the end of the world. The tenth time, not so much.
2. Put a drop of water on the spot and scrape with your thumbnail.
3. Scrub with a rough wash cloth or towel dampened with water.
4. Scrub with a rough wash cloth or towel dampened with water and a drop of Dawn dishwashing detergent.
5. Dab with Tide to Go http://www.tide.com/en-US/product/tide-to-go.jspx.
6. Put it in a mesh bag and drop it in a washing machine with your next load. Remember it's fabric and is designed to get wet. Don't put it in the dryer, though -- it may shrink.
7. With an eyedropper, put one drop of hydrogen peroxide on the spot, let it fizz and rinse it thoroughly with water.
8. Dampen and scrape with a dull table knife.
9. Scrape with Dutch rush, a thin strip of 600 grit sandpaper wrapped around your index finger or the tip of a reed knife.
10. Mix 1 part laundry bleach to 10 parts water and apply with an eyedropper, followed a few seconds later with a generous water rinse.
11. Drop it in a mud puddle and mush it around until it's dirty enough that the original spot blends right in. That's what happens eventually anyway.
