If you use one of the OTC products with the brush, it is gonna look different than the rest, that is all i know.

Maybe steam clean ??

I would suggest steaming it first if you can.

I would avoid steaming headliner materials because you'll likely loosen the adhesive that holds the headliner on.

Use a foaming upholstery cleaner and soft brush. This will prevent soaking/ saturating the material with a watery cleaning product and should clean it safely.

Good luck!
