What are you cleaning it for ?
By that I mean are you taking off dirt to make it look better or preparing the surface for adhesion etc?

Washing powder like Daz in warm water and a stiff nylon scrubbing brush

If you've only got 2 hours use neat fairy liquid with one of those sponge/scourer thingys.If it's raining,(it is here)do it in the rain rather than use tap water.Water out of the sky is much better than out of the tap.(no added alluminium etc)

at the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious.............
it is possible to buy stuff called Hypalon cleaner and it is fabulous. Brings it up like new. Pretty whiffy and not cheap. Don't know what the active ingredient is. It's worth the expense. Comes in a 500ml tin with s screw top.

Use spray on oven cleaner. Leave for 30 min and then wash off with lots of water. Guaranteed to bring your dinghy back looking like new.

Avoid solvents without checking first.
Dunno why Robih considers Hypalon cleaner to a "domestic product" or where he proposes finding it in under 2 hours!

Might be a bit late for this post but "Magic Sponge" from the £1 shop will do the job extremely well and not leave that gritty residue that things like CIF will leave and take a lot of effort to get rid of
