I found this link on Sky and Telescope about cleaning Mt Polamar

Interesting that they use soap and water! Just lots of it!

Wow! Don't think I'll need my gumboots when I finally wash my 8" mirror

Yep soap and water will do it nicely, that's how i used to do my 10'' mirror, although not quite like that.

Notice they don't give a close-up of the scrubbing brushes and angle grinder

That's amazing, it was only a little bit grubby wasn't it

Cheers
