Welcome to the forum Tango,The best way to clean any line is a good soak in warm water with a dash of washing up liquid, then run it trough a clean cloth. As for treating it there are loads of floating line treatment products out there. Personally i use Whizz lube from Airflo or the stuff from Snowbee. About the best of them IMO. Hope this helps.

Warm soapy water and fly line dressing from Scientific Anglers.

I recommend that you simply keep the 'EXPERT' Dry Fly Lines clean by simply pulling it through a clean wet cloth between trips and don't put anything on it. Clean it frequently and that is all it needs.

Clean using baby wipes; then a run through a cotton wool pad soaked in Armorall dashboard cleaner to slick them up a bit.
