my new boat came with a set of dacron sails that are mostly white but do have some color striupes in them. THe sails feel like they are still a little crisp but they look pretty dingy. anyone have any idea on how best to clean them up? do and don't?

thinking about soaking them in oxyclean in the tub

I've used Oxyclean on dacron sails, works well. Soaking in childs swimming pool would work well, but I just spread them out in the yard, soaked with a hose and them lightly brushed the soiled areas with a strong mixture and hosed off.
