About a month ago I posted a topic asking for advice on how to clean my headliner. I got some good recommendations from you all and I appreciated it a lot. I finally got around to doing it and turned out great. I had a lot of stains from smoke and something that looked like brake fluid splatter(no idea). Anyways, I used "color safe resolve carpet cleaner". I spent about 40 mins trying to gently dab and rub the stains once I let it soak in but it wasn't really cutting it. I had heard that u shouldn't scrub it but I got aggravated. So I scrubbed the **** out of it. Then It looked cleaner but it was saturated with soap suds. I thied wiping the suds off but it wasn't happening. So my sunroof leaked for 6 months before I fixed I knew it had been wet before so I got the idea, against my friends advice, and sprayed it down with a garden hose. I wouldn't recommend trying this necessarily but I can tell you that if you don't directly spray it downwith full power but rather use the hose at half power and spray it down indirectly its not going to harm the headliner. I then screwd drywall screws into a beam in my garage and hung it on multiple points. Use at least 4 hanging points like the cut outs for the shades and dome light cut out. If you hang it from just one point and it is too wet its possible that it will be heavy enough to warp or tear. I let it dry over night and It turned out great. All the stains are gone and it truely looks new. I was worried that the cardboard would be ruined or the felt would seperate but just take your time and don't spray it down full blast. Hope this is helpful to someone- peace.
