Default Cleaning under the hood

Looked under the hood and everything looked like it was covered in dirt. I was wondering what was the best way to clean it all. I was looking online and some people say the best way is to spray the whole engine down with all purpose cleaner and hose it down. Others say use rags, chemicals, and elbow grease. I was wondering what is the safest and best way to clean it.

Thanks

Every two weeks I wash my car with a power washer. I also power wash the engine compartment - never had a problem, starts first time, looks brand new..
