Mild detergent mix and a soft towel/rag. Rinse with mist hose when clean.

Stay away from any abrasives included Scotch Brite pads.

Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Joe beat me to it. Simple green is a great product.

We used simple green to clean our dress whites in the military. It works better than Clorox because it whites but doesn't yellow.
