Default Removing dirt and grime from vinyl interior?

What is everyone using to clean their vinyl. I have some original saddle interior that pretty much has a coating or dirt and grime on it. Want to be safe as well as effective. I tried a little of the water based Goof Off and that works well, but I've heard mixed reviews..

I like using a warm bucket of water and some Joy or other mild dish detergent. I also think Lenox has a vinyl cleaner too.
Magic eraser if careful works also.

I know this is an old post, but, thanks for the info on the Sprayway and toothbrush. Used it today and it really did the job on old vinyl.
