    I would test a small area using mild soap and a small nylon brush like a hand cleaning brush.

    Ok, What I did was use a garden house on a patio chair. I did this on the back first to make sure it would work first to see the results Good or Bad.
    It was Good and I went ahead with the entire cleaning.I used a gallon bucket with a couple drips of Dawn dishwashing fluid. Foamed it up and used a sponge to wash and rinse all the nooks and cranny's,

    For the straps I used what I was taught in USMC to use on web belts. Wet them down, smear some Barbasol shave cream on them and then use a soft bristle brush to clean.
    I also address the Oxide that was already on the sling slides and hardware.
    I used my wife's phone for these pic's.
    I very happy with the straps. They went from dingy dirty brown back to the yellow.
