How to Clean a Dirty Car Roof Liner?
2 Answers
Use a white towel, soak it and wring it out, then wipe the roof liner. Check the dirt on the towel to determine if a cleaner is needed. If no cleaner is required, first use a vacuum cleaner to thoroughly remove dust from the roof liner, reducing the workload for subsequent wiping. For severe dirt, use a neutral interior foam cleaner, which can be found on various e-commerce platforms. Use a damp towel to wipe the area cleaned with the detergent in one direction, repeating two to three times.
When I clean the car headliner myself, I first prepare the necessary tools: a vacuum cleaner, a soft-bristled brush, mild automotive interior cleaner spray, and a few clean microfiber cloths. The first step is to carefully vacuum away dust and debris, paying special attention to corners and crevices to ensure no spot is missed. Then, I spray the cleaner onto stains and gently scrub in circular motions with the soft brush, being careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the fabric. When wiping, I use a slightly damp cloth, making sure not to soak the fabric to prevent mold or deformation. After cleaning, I open the windows to allow for ventilation and drying, leaving it to air out for at least a few hours. For stubborn stains like grease or coffee, I repeat the spraying and wiping process a few times. Regular cleaning every three months helps prevent stain buildup and keeps the interior fresh. If the stains are too tough to handle, I recommend taking the car to a professional detailing service for a hassle-free solution.
