Oooops, cleaning headliner
I started by vacuuming my headliner and rear deck, which I probably had not cleaned in @3 years. I was ashamed, very dirty, but it cleaned up very well with just a vacuum with an upholstery attachment.
I started spot cleaning some water stains on my C pillars and headliner. I used a damp towel with some spot remover solution applied to the towel...very diluted - not sprayed directly to any interior car parts
After working on a headliner spot - the headliner fabric looks to have released from the headliner backing material...kind of like a little bubble now...crap. The spot remover chemical and/or water likely broke down the glue.
Not a huge deal as it is not too big - but likely not an easy fix either.
So - go gentle when trying to clean your headliner.

what color is your headliner?
I need to get something to clean mine...but I have an ecru interior (very light) with black marks. I would die if it got smeared all over the place.
