Moisten a small detailing brush with the solution. Make sure that you will keep the vehicle doors open and wear gloves. You also have the option to prepare a homemade solution by mixing \u00bc cup white vinegar, \u00bd tablespoon liquid soap and a cup of warm water in a spray bottle.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Move the brush in small circular motions to form bubbles at the stained area. Apply light pressure so that the lather will penetrate the stain.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Blot the site with a dry microfiber towel to absorb the solution. Check if the stain has vanished. If a trace lingers, repeat the process again.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealing with tough stains<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Spray an upholstery cleaner on the bristles of a stiff brush. Work the brush into the stain in small circles. Wipe away the cleaner using a microfiber cloth.\u00a0<\/li><li>You can utilize a steam cleaner. A steam cleaner utilizes pressure vapors to loosen dirt and penetrate stains.\u00a0<\/li><li>Utilize the narrow nozzle or brush tool. Hold it 2 inches away from the site and deliver a gust of steam. Spray on the stain so that the heat and water will lift the stain away from the headliner.\u00a0<\/li><li>Pat the site with a microfiber cloth. If the stain lingers, spray another burst of steam.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>[crp]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_deep_clean_your_headliner\"><\/span><strong>How to deep clean your headliner<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An all-purpose cleaner or upholstery cleaner can be used to deep clean your headliner.

You can attach a brush tool on the nozzle. Start at the front of the vehicle and move towards the back.<\/li><li>The vacuum or spot cleaner should soak up most of the moisture in the headliner but allow it to air dry for 24 hours.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Once fully dry, check for any lingering stains or discoloration on the headliner.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_fabric_cleaner_remove_water_stains_from_headliner\"><\/span><strong>Does fabric cleaner remove water stains from headliner?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A fabric cleaner can be used to get rid of water stains on your headliner.

It utilizes water to get rid of stains for a safe cleaning process minus the residue unlike soap, oil-based cleaners, or solvents that can be toxic, smelly, or flammable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use FOLEX to clean your headliner since it does not leave behind any sticky residue or damage the surface.

You simply need a cloth, soft brush, and an upholstery cleaner. Just remember to avoid saturating the headliner which can slacken the glue that holds it all together. You also need a specific cleaning agent depending on the type of stain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lacquer thinner and alcohol works well on oil-based stains such as crayon, ink, grease, and makeup. The general upholstery cleaners are suitable for water-based stains such as coffee and soda. You can even prepare a general cleaner using white vinegar, warm water, and liquid soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Use a dry cloth or soft brush to scrub away any loose dirt or debris without driving them deeper.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Apply the upholstery cleaner to the cloth.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Dab on the stain to moisten it without saturating it. This should start to dissolve the stain so that you can remove it using a dry section of the cloth, carefully rubbing on the stained area.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you discover water stains on your headliner, it might be time to clean your interior.
