Headliner disaster...suggestions?
Wifes friend asked how to clean her headliner in her kia sorrento. Her husband made an ooopsies and let their little ones have a chocolate milk, made with hershey chocolate. Im not equipt for such a scene. I would imagine a steamer/extractor would be needed?
If so id just reccomend taking to a pro detail shop.
Thanks

Wow, that's like a perfect arc, maybe you could even it up a little and it would look like part of the interior design?
Seriously though, you've got to be really careful not to get headliners too wet or too hot or you'll delaminate them (not speaking from personal experience, just being a member here for a long time). Is it furry soft or one of the more substantial ones?

At least its not blood.
I would use a steamer but you can try lightly spraying with stain remover and lightly rubbibg with brush and towel.

Using a steamer on a headliner is a little risky IMO.

Low pressure and work quickly. The steamer gets it much less wet than a spray bottle

True, but some chemicals clean better than water.

Yeah its a tough job. Usually when I see this type of stain it is blood. I pre-treat blood with hydrogen peroxide then steam.
Vapor Chief has videos of headliner steaming on their youtube channel.

I can't help with a solution as I find headliners rather intimidating due to all the potential for something to go wrong.
However, I am truly in awe of the kids work! They not only managed to spray the chocolate milk across the entire width of the roof, but it looks to be in an almost perfectly straight line!
