Sometimes a good canvass cleaner and scrub brush work OK.
Then water proof it .
I've personally never heard of taking it off and then cleaning , but I'm sure someone who also has one will know better.

Never done it, but I'm about to. Yours looks much better than mine does. Lots of humidity down here, so I am getting lots of mildew on mine. I know I can try bleach, but I expect that will quickly lead to a shredded top...

Did mine yesterday, layed out on the driveway. Simple Green, light scrubbing and rinse. Looks new again. Had the same whitish stains on it

On my old boat I took the old bimini off/apart. Took the fabric and soaked it in the bathtub with some dreft laundry detergent. Let it soak for 24 hours. Kinda scrubbed it together with my hands. Water was filthy when I drained it.

Yours is the same type and design as mine. Should be easy. I had to put mine together when we got the boat new
Is your question about being able to wash it in the washing machine, or are you asking what to use?
@Neutron's method of laying it out on the driveway and scrubbing it is the best way to ensure that everything got touched
