Is it dirt, or is it grease, or both? The first thing I would try is brake cleaner sprayed from the inside with a towel held to the outside to keep the waste from running down the canvas. 


If that only works so far I would then scrub it with dish detergent and spray it with shout after rinsing the detergent off well.
