How to Clean a Dirty Car Roof Lining?

First, recline the seats and cover them with a towel or seat cover to prevent contamination from water or cleaning solution dripping from the roof. Then, fill a spray bottle with a diluted solution of water and cleaning agent, and spray it onto the roof lining. After the cleaning solution has slightly foamed, use a soft brush with gentle pressure to clean the roof lining thoroughly.

When cleaning the car headliner, I usually start by vacuuming the surface dust, paying special attention to the edges and sunroof gaps. Then, I spray interior-specific cleaning foam on the stained areas and wait three minutes for it to break down the dirt. Remember to gently scrub in one direction with a small soft-bristle brush or sponge block, avoiding back-and-forth motions to prevent fuzzing. After that, I wipe twice with a damp towel to remove any residual foam and finish by blotting dry with a dry towel. For stubborn stains, I add a small amount of white vinegar. It's important to ventilate by opening windows after cleaning to prevent mold growth. For light-colored headliners, I recommend monthly cleaning, while darker ones can be cleaned as needed when dirt becomes noticeable. The entire process can be completed within half an hour.
