Ive been having a go with orange swarfega recently (the stuff with the grit in it). Seems to shift ground in dirt, but you need a LOT of elbow grease with a very stiff nylon bristle brush. I have used a brass bristle brush for very bad areas where the grime embeds itself in the basketweave "grooves".
Its really important to wash it all off very thoroughly though using high(ish) pressure water (jetwash maybe too much).
If its only light dirt, there are some brilliant foam "surfacant" based upholstrey cleaners that are about 4 to 5 quid a tin that just "lift" the dirt off.
This stuff is pretty good and not too expensive

Truck wash, I was told by someone in the trade they use this. Just wipe it off with warm soapy water before it drys. I did some white basket weave seats in my old square back and they looked amazing.

I used a small amount of Acetone on a clean rag, seats came up a treat.
Go easy mind, too much acetone you'l melt the seat
