[C320-list] Washing Sail Cover

[Chris Holt]

I would like to give my sail cover a nice wash and then add use Fabric Guard to add some protection back to it like was suggested on a prior thread.  My question is what is safe to use to wash the sail cover?
I'm assuming you can't throw it in the washing machine.  :-)
On a more serious note, do detergents cause any problems with the fabric if used to wash it?

Thanks,
