Hey Walt, Click the related link below to find a post that should answer your question. There is all sorts of info on this site and people will generally help you out a lot but it is often best to start with a search of the archive (go to archive then search) which will more often then not return more info than I know what to do with.

Clean Sails

Check out West Marine/BoatUS/Defender. They usually stock a product that you use to wash your sails. The easy method is to fill your bathtub and soak your sails. The other extreme is to send them to Sailcare in Pennsylvania. They will examine them, make any necessary repairs and clean your sails. I've used them 3 times for various sails and have no complaints.

Personally, I'd just

lay it out on the lawn, soak it down, sprinkle it with tide (without bleach) and scrub with a long handled brush. Bad spots may require hands and knees action. Works for me on 85% of stains.
