If it is just dirty and grundgy I'd use something like 409 or similiar. If there is a mildew problem then some really diluted bleach - something like 80% water might help. Bleach will destroy the threading in a minute. Rinse like a bad boy and scrub with clear water - a lot. I'd try a small spot first before jumping in with both feet.
