First, open the window all the way to gain access to the window tracks, then make sure that the window track is completely dry, and then start to loosen up the dirt and debris by scrubbing them with a toothbrush. Make sure to scrub all of the corners and crevices, then if you have a small gap that you can’t reach, pop off the screen first, and start to vacuum all of the loose dirt using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

Spray your all-purpose cleaner all over the window tracks, then use a toothbrush to scrub them thoroughly, and use a damp microfiber cloth or cleaning rag to wipe the dirt away.
