Cleaning headliner??

Somehow i've gotten some black smudgemarks on my headliner in my stone interior.

Before i try anything on it, have anyone used any products to get rid of them? The headliner is a cloth material, so i'm worried about driving the dirt/grime deeper into the headliner.

i have the same interior color and was in the same boat. get several terry cloth towels and damp them with water. spray 6-8 sprays of interior cleaner and go to town (you'd be pretty safe with some woolite or test your own cleaner in an inconspicuous area first). the dampness from the towel will make the cleaner pretty mild.

When I had an RSX I had the same problem. I used a terry cloth with a diluted solution of simple green. Don't use a strong concentration. I started on a small corner and it got all the dirt out and it worked fine on the rest.

Just remember, whatever you do or use, test it out on a small corner first to make sure it works or that it doesn't stain or ruin your headliner.

Thanks guys. The simple green on a rag worked perfectly. Spent an hour or so cleaning up little dirt marks on my headliner. Looks new now!

Now to keep people from touching it in the future!!

PM footballmania32. He used some car cleaning product on it and came out spotless. I thought he made a diy about it but he had just showed me pictures. Saw it in person and looked super clean

i think your best bet is spraying cleaning and dabbing on it not wipping

I use a damp microfiber towel of water to scrub my headliner. My dad smokes so it left some pretty nasty looking blackness on my tan headliner. I can honestly say with just water and some scrubbing it's 100% gone. Haven't used any solutions or anything, and vacuuming it did not help at all.
