Default DIY sail cleaning ?

We live in a condo (no yard). Is it practical to consider cleaning our
sails in the tub ?

We just got the boat, a 1975 Ericson 23' in really good shape, but the
dacron (?) sails need some cosmetic help due to mildew. I was thinking
that we'd just take them home and dump them in some appropriate cleaning
solution but if we'd need to scrub then the tub would probably not be
big enough.

Practical ?

If it is practical, what should we use as a cleaning agent ? Simple
Green, bleach, Woolite ... magic solution ... ?

If it is not practical, what should one expect to pay for professional
cleanig (Los Angeles area) ?

Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
