I would not expect to return this advertising banner to excellent condition. I would just like to remove as much dirt and stainage as possible, without destroying the fabric or printing. I am satisfied with leaving as is, but if anyone has any ideas on cleaning, I would appreciate it.

If these spots are fat, then it cleans well a mixture of pure alcohol with gasoline about 10: 1 and let dry. Then wash it by hand with something like Vanish Oxi | ||

The material is woven, probably some type of polyester, judging by the feel of it. No label. I highly doubt that the stains are organic.
Just wondering if dry cleaning would damage the printing. Would the dry cleaning process have to be done to the entire banner, or could the process be localized to just the worst areas? | ||

Before and After
I just used dish detergent and laundry detergent, total of 5 applications, using a clean rag to concentrate on the worst spots. Removed most of the stains, and did not affect the printing. I'm satisfied.
