Question Cleaning the headliner?

What should I use to clean dirt spots on the headliner? I have a black headliner but I don't know what solution to use to clean it safely. I have used 303 protectant and Adam's detailer on the dash without issues before, would these work for this type of material?

This was recommended to me by another long time member of CL. Works perfectly. GOOD LUCK!

I can't vouch for the company, but here is a link I found: Ultima Gel Shampoo

Apparently this product is tough to find available. Almost everywhere I looked it was sold out. I did find one site where it was available and here's the link:

GOOD LUCK!

This is totally anecdotal, but I'm generally a big fan of Sprayway glass cleaner, and I find that it works pretty good for a lot of general purpose use. It's ammonia free.

Well, I smudged the headliner once when removing the overhead console and I just sprayed some Sprayway into a microfiber towel and worked it in back and forth, and the smudge was gone. It worked really well.
