It is most definitely NOT a standard of museum conservation. Short of actually hiring a professional conservator, your best option would be to lightly vacuum the surface - using a filter to keep the vacuum from taking any one the original fibers - and I do mean LIGHTLY. Then air it out (inside, not outside) to minimize the lingering smell and with a q-tip moistened by the saliva from under your tongue (no Italian food eating or fruity drink drinking to coincide with this process) gently wipe the surface of the tapa cloth - itty bit by itty bit. Slow but cheap and effective.
