Headliner cleaning, how to? What to use?

Just got back from grocery shopping, I don't know how many of you do like I like to do , but depending on the weather, I like to ride with all windows down, and while unloaded I noticed the headliner is getting pretty dingy on rear corners and all along the top, anyone know how to clean off? What to use?

 

Try vacuuming with a brush attachment first. You don't want to use stuff that will cause the glue to fail. I've used Griot's Interior Cleaner for smudges on it in the past with good results.

 

I've used a product called ChemDry on fabric headliners for years. My process is using a damp white Terry cloth towel thats lint free, spray the ChemDry product liberally onto the rag to saturate it (not the headliner) and blot the dirty areas first, its ok for the headliner to become lightly damp as well. Keep changing the towel to a clean side (I end up using a couple towels on the headliner). You will see that the white towel is picking up dirt as you go. Once you have the dirty areas looking good, I will start with a clean damp towel again sprayed with the ChemDry product and gently wipe the entire headliner. The ChemDry dries super fast leaving the headliner looking new.

NOTE: You shouldn't have to rub very hard on the headliner, light blotting in dirty areas and then gentle sweeping when doing a the full headliner. I have never had a headliners glue effected, with that said, headliners are somewhat delicate so go easy. Good to check for colorfastness in a hidden area first.

I always use a vacuum first before I do anything. As @Sas said. I don’t have any experience with chemicals on the headliner. But I usually try to use only fresh water... and soap as a last resort. I have a cheap little green machine that I will just use water in. I just spray it on, and vacuum up. Seems to do the trick. You can even do this with a spray bottle and a wet dry vac.

 

Thanks to all who replied

I use this pet cleaner with hot (not boiling) water. Also I used a fabric cleaner made to clean sofas. Pulls the dirt straight out .
