My favourite is water just mildly soaped up with a bar of normal bath soap applied with an old towel, then a fresh rinse before drying.
Thats what I use too, I have found the towel is the most important part, soak it well and use the soap sparingly.
i use the end of the bar of soap apply it directly to the towel first so you get a kind of pasty cream on the towel ( get your mind out of the gutter ) then rub it in a circular motion using the very light abrasive properties of the towel fabric. Do not lay your kite on the ground when doing this as you will cause wear on the opposite side of your canopy, support the opposite side with your hand or lay it over another towel. Rinse and let dry or go ride and try a few moves you know you wont make.
Most stains will come off fairly easily although the rust stain on my Fuel is proving very stubborn ( thanks to the supposed stainless steel wave grenade pin )
