Soap and water is the best way to clean it. Be sure to condition it regularly with something designed for soft tops.

Can some soaps dry out the top?

I'm sure it's possible. But I can't see it doing anymore damage then the sun does. This is why you need to treat your top as well.

I use 303 treatment. Works great. The top on my 01 looks like new. You can get it at most Marine or boat places.

My father has been an upolsterer for 30 years and 303 is the best thing on the market. Nasa designed it for the worst conditions. I use their conditioner for leather and for my dash. The top cleaner is the best on the market.

The top is not fabric, it's vinyl.
