It takes two people to do it properly but the easiest way without causing any damage is to get a new cheap plasterers hawk and a spray bottle where you can adjust the spray nozzle accordingly. Fill the spray bottle with warm water and a teaspoon of washing powder and shake well then open each caravan window independently as wide as possible. The one person with the bottle stands on the outside and the assistant on the inside holding up the plasterers hawk very lightly to the flyscreen. The person on the outside then sprays the flyscreen with the water and contents which doesn't penetrate right through the gauze and the washing powder does it's job instantly by removing any unwanted dirt and stains. If the stains need a bit more elbow grease on tough areas you can use a soft paint brush and work the solution in lightly against the hawk so it gives a base to work on. Once clean, use a second spray with clean water and let the flyscreen dry naturally. There's no other way of doing it really if you want nice looking refreshed blinds. However, you can make up your own device by using a clean nylon bread board with an attached handle on the reverse side if you don't wan to use a plasters hawk but that would be more heavy in comparison. That's how we cleaned the blinds on our previous caravan as the one over the kitchen sink near the gas cooker was a bit grubby to say the least.

Thanks Plumbo (above post). All I can say is that my post must be the ultimate flyscreen cleaning challenge as nobody has come up with any other ideas or any alternative cleaning products to washing powder.
