Headliner cleaning :/ help

[thedatazoo]

Hey guys and gals,
My head liner seems to be very stained a darker color than the standard beigey off white, in different tones all over it due to smoker 10 years ago. Anyway i used metho in a small 5cmx5cm spot and it worked well but lots of metho stinks and isn't very safe(it works well although). Does anyone know a cost effective way of cleaning it thats safe cause the armor-all multi purpose cleaner isn't very good that i tried. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Armor-All products are crap...

My friend's car had a similar issue. The previous owner was a heavy smoker, and the headliner was gross. We used Simple Green (it may have been diluted.) It worked well.

i used Simple Green too on mine, i used it straight on a washcloth, made a big difference

I don't know if it's toxic or not, but I do know that I felt a bit queasy after using it for a while... so be sure to keep all doors and windows open, and do it in short spurts.

idk what metho is, but try simple green with a scrub brush and then wipe it with a terry towel. later.

I had the same problem, my dad was a smoker in his cb7 for 13 years...there was ALOT of tar buildup. I used the little hand held shark steamer...took it right off. Hot steam is the $@#*!
