Over the years my engine area under the hood has gotten dirty.

How can i clean it and get it back to looking new?

Can I use soap and water with a microfiber cloth to wipe everything down manually? Then spray everything down with water from a hose?

On youtube I see some engines look absolutely spotless and clean like brand new. How do they keep their engines like that?

Alternatively, are there any paid services that will clean the engine area? I was under the impression that there are services to clean the outside and interior of the car (i.e. passenger areas), will they clean the engine area under the hood?

Thanks
