cleaning soiled headliners

[Mark Holden]

I've cleaned the headliner before with the upholstery brush portion of
a carpet cleaner.  It works alright, except if you forget to use a
very light touch, you can leave lines in the liner.

Depending on the age, it could encourage the headliner to separate and
sag though.  Mine never had any problems, but it hasn't been my car
for 4 years or so now.  My current SR20 hasn't got a headliner, or any
other of those frills :)

There has been a little bit of staining around the sunroof opening from unknown water seepage, and until now this has been the only thing I've wanted to clean up a bit. But....this week I left a Coke in the front seat map pocket. With temps doen to 7F, or course it froze, exploded and shot Coke-sticky all over my interior, which I didnt' discover til tonight since it's been sitting all week. Soo....what is the most effective way to clean headliner mouse-fur? I would probably go with Simple Green first, but it's the technique I'm not sure about.
