Default Cleaning Track for Sliding Glass Door

Would like to clean this track - have vacuumed but there's still dirt.
Any suggestions?

soap. water. simple green. spray it down. let it sit. wipe away. perhaps
hitting it with a wire brush if really caked on.

It is a pain in the ass but an old tooth brush works, then a small sponge like
a scotch brite on one side and sponge on the other. Use some kind of citrus
soap.
Just twist up a fat one, turn on a "dead" album and have at it. By the time
you get to Sugar Magnolia you should be making a dent in it.
