Do a section at a time, I use Meguirs Vinyl&Rubber Protectant on the hoses and plastic with Meguirs Degreaser on the other bits. If the parts are really dirty it will take you a while, but it's worth it in the end. Then occassionally give it a good clean to get any new dirt off. DON'T use water or steam cleaning.

It is not easy getting them clean, but it makes keeping them clean easier ;). Simple green is your friend.
