How to Clean Water Stains on Car Interior Ceiling?

First, use a high-power vacuum cleaner for dust removal, while also using a soft ceiling brush for preliminary cleaning of the ceiling. Spray a neutral foam cleaner onto the ceiling fabric. After a few minutes, gently and meticulously brush with a specialized soft-bristle ceiling cleaning brush, then wipe with a damp towel. Avoid using other hard-bristle brushes, as this may cause the fabric fibers to shed. Make sure to purchase the correct foam cleaner. A dry foam cleaner for fabric sofas can be used, which, when sprayed, will cause dust to coagulate into small beads that can then be vacuumed away. When cleaning, use a wrung-out cotton cloth or towel. A wet towel may saturate the ceiling material with cleaner, making it difficult to dry and potentially causing the material to peel.
When I notice water stains on the car roof, I usually handle it with some household items. Take a clean, soft white cloth, mix some warm water with a spoonful of white vinegar, and gently rub the stain without applying too much pressure to avoid damaging the material. For stubborn stains, make a paste with water and baking soda, apply it for a few minutes, then wipe it off. After cleaning, always use a dry cloth to absorb moisture and open the windows to air dry, preventing mold growth. Water stains are often caused by leaking sunroofs or spilled drinks, so I also recommend checking the roof seals and being careful when drinking in the car to avoid spills. Regular interior maintenance can help prevent such issues.
