Question · Interior Detailing

How do you clean a car headliner without damaging it?

Light cleaner sprayed onto a microfiber, not directly on headliner. Gentle dabbing motion, never scrubbing. Aggressive cleaning loosens the headliner adhesive and causes sagging. Irreversible damage.

Part of Interior Detailing

To clean a car headliner without causing damage, apply a mild, pH-neutral interior cleaner directly onto a clean microfiber cloth. Never spray the cleaning solution directly onto the headliner material itself

WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL

When to pick something else.

Skip steam cleaning headliners. Too much moisture loosens factory adhesive. Skip any soaking. Skip stiff brushes.
