    how to clean a wire harness

    What would be the best way to clean my wire harness? It's grimy from all the years and I want it to look like new before I reinstall it. I have no idea what would be a safe way to do this. Soap and water? I don't want to just tape and wire loom over the dirt. Thanks again for the input.
