How to Clean the Interior of the Car Roof?

Methods for cleaning the interior of the car roof: Before cleaning the dust, you need to lay the seats down and cover them with a towel or seat cover to prevent them from being stained by water or cleaning agents dripping from the roof. Since the fabric of the car roof lining is relatively soft and highly absorbent, remember to use a wrung-out cotton cloth during cleaning to avoid soaking the roof lining, which would make it difficult to dry. If you encounter stubborn stains during the cleaning process, you can use a small brush to gently scrub in one direction. Avoid brushing randomly, as this may damage the roof lining fabric. Be cautious during cleaning because the padding inside the car roof lining is made of heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material, which has strong water absorption. Therefore, make sure the cleaning cloth is thoroughly wrung out. Otherwise, a damp cloth soaked with cleaning agents may saturate the roof material, making it hard to dry and even causing the material to peel off. Additionally, always choose high-quality foam cleaners with long-lasting foam and neutral pH. These cleaners will not corrode or discolor the fabric and will not leave water stains.
Cleaning the fabric headliner involves several steps. I usually start by using a soft brush attachment on the vacuum cleaner to remove dust, gently brushing the corners with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, spray foam cleaner and let it sit for five minutes to break down the stain before wiping in circular motions. A car interior-specific foam cleaner from the supermarket is sufficient. Clean in sections, using a fresh towel for each area to avoid cross-contamination. After cleaning, wipe twice with a damp towel to remove foam residue, then press with a dry towel to absorb moisture. Keep windows open for ventilation throughout the process, and let it air-dry for two hours before closing the windows. Remember to be gentle—once I applied too much force and nearly frayed the fabric. This cleaning method maintains effectiveness for about three to four months.
