Cleaning headliner

I have a small smudge on my A pillar headliner. Does anyone know a product that will clean this light-colored fabric surface without leaving a stain?

I haven't tried it, but one of the laundry sticks (like the Tide one) might work.

There is a product from Griots Garage.com called Interior Cleaner that does great things for all interior surfaces................have used it on my Corvettes and now the GL for years. Does the job and does not leave a stain........it is not available in stores.

Thanks blittle and Jen; I've heard good things about the Griot product so I'll try that. Do you prefer the wipes or the liquid? Wipes are more convenient, but I'm always afraid they'll dry out before I get through them.

They will dry out..........I buy the liquid and a supply of those round/square terry cotton applicator pads. The stuff even works wonders on the carpet if you get stains/spots there.

Yup.......and........the Griot's leather conditioner is great also. Tends to soften up the hard feel of MB leather.
