Nah think once its saturated with dirt you chuck it & replace 
Could try sticking it in the washing machine at a 40 DEG Med cycle

wash it under hot water stil it gets soft, keep stretching it and moving it round in your hands, this will remove all the dirt in the bar. and you will notice the clay is considerably cleaner

Personally, I would chuck it straight after using it once.
Ben - I did exactly the same thing lol, gutted.

They cant be re-used. Once dirty throw them away. A good tip to making them last though, is to get some Tar and Glue remover to get rid of most of the tar etc in the first place.
Far far cheaper alternative!!

What the fuck you do know you can clean them off and reuse them?|
Was still using the same bit of clay I have been susing for over a year and a half and only just spashed out on some Sonus green clay.
