Your fly line can get dirty any number of ways. Just keeping it in its case on the reel in a warm car can be enough to make it need to be cleaned. We all accidentally drag our line through dirt, step on it, or find some other way to get it dirty. Things like sunscreen and bug repellent are also common contaminants. Follow these steps and you will have your line ready to go in no time. I have used these methods for some time with a variety of fly line brands with no adverse effects. Having said that, the reader is ultimately responsible for any consequences that might result from using this process. I have no way of knowing, for example, if your line might have come into contact with some chemical that when fly dressing is applied would cause the line to degrade. I have never heard of this happening.
1. Fill a Clean Bucket with Warm Water and a Mild Dish Detergent
This step is fairly self-explanatory.
2. Remove Line from Reel and Backing
Strip your fly line from the reel into the bucket of warm soapy water all the way back to the backing. This might be a good time to go ahead and strip your backing and re-reel it back on to make sure there are no tangles. You don't want to learn that the hard way when you get a big fish on.
Leave the fly line in loose coils in the bucket and let it soak 30 minutes.
3. Clean Line
Slowly strip line out of bucket through a moist clean rag, grasping rag tightly enough to make line squeak as its pulled through. Check rag periodically, and when it gets too dirty, switch it for a clean one. Pulling out an arm's length each time will help eliminate line memory.
4. Apply Dressing
Use a new clean rag and soak it in fly line dressing. You will repeat the process you used when you stripped the line out of the bucket with the dressing on the rag. Make certain to keep the rag with plenty of fly line dressing on it. Also, continue to strip arm lengths of line and again make sure to strip it onto a clean surface. If you happen to have a line winder, use this so you do not get your line dirty again.
You can use a fly line dressing that is marked for this purpose. Or, many of us have discovered that other products designed for use on plastics work equally well at a lesser cost. A couple that people use are Rain-X and Armor-All. Just make sure what you use is designed for use on plastics and preferably silicone based.
5. Re-Attach Fly Line
I typically use a nail knot to tie my backing to the line, but there are others you can use. Make sure to trip tag ends so that line is not getting tangles to long tags.
Your fly line will last a long time if you care for it. A rule of thumb is to clean your line every 5 trips. More or less might be necessary in your particular circumstances.

The Teesdale Angler (Dodo Press) $18.77 I find it requisite to say something by way of preface to the Teesdale Angler, chiefly, because I wish it to be understood that my work, though bearing a local title, is intended as a help and guide to Trout fishers generally, especially those of Yorkshire, Durham, Westmoreland, and Cumberland. To the extent of my ability, I have endeavoured to point out, and explain the various methods, means, and devices, natural and artificial, for taking Trout. The Artificial Fly List will I trust be found amply sufficient for most Anglers. I have only to add, that my treatise is the result of a considerable amount of practical Angling experience, extending over a period of upwards of 35 years, and the chief object I have in view will be accomplished, if the hints and instruction contained in it, tend to aid the diversion, and promote the amusement of those who wish to be proficient in the art of a pleasing and fascinating recreation.
