Just clean the diaper afterwards in the washer and dryer (with NO fabric softener), it would be good as new again. In the case of a dirty filter, I use dish washing liquid and rub it with my fingers. I then rinse it thoroughly under a faucet, dry with clean cotton diaper and then leave it in a relatively dust free environment (e.g.. glass enclosed dishes or trophies cabinet), stand the filter up on its side and let it air for about 2 days to rid it of any residual moisture. I get very good results regularly with this process for my Leica filters including polarizers.
