Dunce, party of 1, your table is ready.
When they say KEM cards are "washable", they actually mean "moist cloth, then dry immediately".
Wanting to clean off the stickiness of my blue deck of KEM's, I plopped them all into a pot of room temperature tap water. I forgot about them, and they sat for an hour and a half. I fished them out, dried them off, and they were warped. A few days under heavy books didn't help. Oops. At least I didn't ruin my red deck.
So I'm trolling ebay, and comparing prices at this site. After playing with KEM's, I can't go back to run of the mill Bicycle cards.

I caught my local casino dealer caring for the poker room cards and asked how they did it, as my "dry 'em with talc" wasn't cool.
He pulled a Tom Sawyer on me, letting me clean about ten decks while he explained how they did it.
Damp Terrycloth towel, mild detergent, swipe the cards across the towel two or three times. Rub on a dry towel. Repeat 'til done.
I suggested that having a customer help was, well, a help.
He suggested it was a lot easier.
Thanks, tenmile.
The kem's I bought off of ebay had a write-up about caring for them.
I'm looking forward to new cards, and to not ruining them.
