There are lots of answers to this. I do it by doing a deep clean with washing up liquid. Scrubbed in with a nail brush, don't worry it won't damage the fabric. When I've scrubbed it clean I drench it with a hose pipe whilst scrubbing with the nail brush. I keep doing this until all the soap (froth) has gone. I then let it dry naturally and apply a new water seal. Don't use spray on sealant. You need a brush on. Plenty of debate here on which sealant is best.

With a proper brush on sealant you won't have any problems with dirt. Even bird dirt just falls off without leaving a mark.

Word of warning, if you haven't got all the soap out the sealant won't bond properly.
