No easy way of cleaning flint without damaging it
If it really needs cleaning just use water and a soft brush"

"Cleaning process – Use clean water and recommended cleaners to mop away sand particles, dust, stains and any unnatural marks on the stone and rinse the services with clean water. Sometimes clean warm water gives the best result."

"The safest liquid to try first is water with a little dish soap. Soak your finds in soapy water for a day to loosen any packed-in dirt, and wipe or brush them clean. An abrasive toothpaste can also dislodge grime from smaller surfaces. Many collectors choose to remove calcite from rock and mineral specimens."
