Headliner- if there are areas where your head touches the ceiling you will probably notice that these areas accumulate dirt and the like because of the oils that come from your hair and your skin that are now on the headliner.

Vacuum the headliner making sure you apply pressure, but not too much. Not only can you set the stains in this way, you may tear what can be very fragile upholstery if you press too hard. Vacuum thoroughly to make sure that you get all of the loose dust fragments

Cleaning - Duragloss 451 Fabric & Carpet Cleaner Aerosol Foam (FC) is a blend of surfactants, which gently foam away soil, oil and grease from fabric and carpet surfaces. Spot cleaning can be done without leaving rings on fabrics, carpet and velour.

Use Dr Joe dedicated Lint-Free 100% Cotton Blue Huck Surgical Towels, using very light pressure and wipe the headliner following the cleaning with the water based cleaner (do not soak or use hot water on the headliner fabric as it may delaminate) Dry by blotting with a clean, dry surgical huck towel

Another option is to mix woolite (the same little white bottle our wives use for who knows what) and water. Dilute it to 10:1 or even less.
Put it in a spray bottle and use it like you would any other cleaner.
Works on carpet, fabric and even leather.

Either of the above processes work, DG is good stuff but hard to source, Woolite is everywhere. One thing though, well actually a couple:

Do not saturate. spray lightly and if more is needed clean subsequent times if using a water based product;
Dab and pinch, do not rub. By rubbing you will alter the nap of the fabric and it will be noticeable especially over time.

Better yet have your girl do it while you watch, they're like kids you need to reinforce things constantly.
