How do I clean my headlining?
October 2nd, 2006 by Danny the web stig
You have to take great care when doing headlinings. The problem is that when they get wet, they get heavy, which means they can sag, or even tear themselves from their fixings as they become weakened when wet.
So the trick is to clean it without too much water. What we would recommend is using a foam spray-on cleaner and a damp microfibre cloth. You can also use an upholstery cleaner in a trigger spray, just don’t put on too much.
If you gently wipe the headlining with the damp microfibre cloth, it should remove any loose dirt and dust. Tar stains from tabacco is far harder if not impossible to remove - many dealerships will replace the headlining of a car that has been smoked in.
Some older cars may have a headlining made of cardboard, these need to be treated with even more care. It is probably best to spray your product directly onto the cloth and not the headlining to prevent swelling and watermarks.
