Probably not a pressure washer. We want to keep the sails as crisp as possible as long as possible.

Warm water with a very small amount of mild detergent and a soft sponge.

Try the sail cleaning soaps available thru Hobie or Murray. Bleach is hard on the stitching and sail numbers. I wash mine in the bathtub and allow them to soak for awhile. I sail in the ocean and wash them twice a season to get the salt out and keep them as fresh as possible. Dacron dies everytime you sail so keeping it clean extends the life.
