Default cleaning sails

If you have a friend with a hottub/whirlpool bath, outside preferably, you
can stuff them in there with cleaning agents(soap, non chlorine bleach ect)
for a couple of hours and they will come out clean. The water in the tub
will have to be changed before human occupation of course, but that may be
cheaper than 75 bucks.

My sailmaker wanted $75 to clean my mainsail ...Can I just take it to
a commercial laundry and throw it into a washing machine ? It's about

15
years old and Dacron.
Any need to worry about detergents ?
