I have a small, wooden nail brush which I use to clean off bird lime, mud, etc, with a spray bottle of ordinary water to clean my polycotton tents. On stubborn, hard to remove stains, I use a simple bar of soap that has a neutral pH. I have stains on one of my tents which were caused by the previous owner, wrapping the flysheet around the unprotected, alloy poles. The result was some serious black marks on the roof. Try as I might, I cannot shift them and I'm reluctant to try chemical products. I can, however, recommend Nikwax Cotton Proof. I have used it on the stained tent and it's never leaked and rain simply beads and runs off. So long as you can live with the marks, as I do, it's got to be better than potentially ruining it.
