Anyone here cleaned their headlining and if so what did you use?

Clean the headlining on a vert
Used (very diluted) Autoglym Fabric Stain Remover. Although I reckon any decent interior shampoo will work just fine. Applied with a nice clean microfibre. And then another one to remove any dampness. note: I also (gently) vacuum the headlining first though. There are some Pro Detailers on the forum who are much more up to date of the latest cleaning gear who will have more insight than me

Re: Clean the headlining on a vert
More info might help, are you trying to get rid of a specific mark or odour?
AG interior cleaner is pretty good and easy to get hold of, it has good cleaning and odour eliminating properties, best used by either diluting the solution in a bucket of clean warm water or by spraying the diluted solution direct onto a sponge, and work well onto the fabric, remember not to much water as it'll go everywhere and could make the headlining sag!
then dry with either a microfiber or a chamois (the only area of a car where you should use a chamois is to wipe down the interior!)

Re: Clean the headlining on a vert
Thanks for the advice, I bought the car second hand and it's just part of a general clean but I wanted to pose the question asprod1 wrote:More info might help, are you trying to get rid of a specific mark or odour?

I really wanted to avoid making the headlining sag.
