Simple yet effective way of cleaning fabric trim.

Wet a microfibre cloth and simple rub it against your trim. Washing it out and wringing it out often.

Cleaned this today.


And what was a clean Microfibre cloth.


Ive got a commercial wet vac and normally use a watered down G101 solution but I was amazed at how the microfibre dragged the dirt off.

you should of used a black microfibre cloth then you would'nt have to wash it after :wink:

I don't think the previous (and only!) owner of my cabby had ever washed the cloth trim. I quickly discovered the two-bucket method that I use when hand washing my car is also handy for inside washing. One clean bucket and one dirty as hell bucket by the end of it. The tiniest bit of dishwashing liquid also worked miracles on my trim.

Mines in dire need of a good scrub - think i'll try the micro fibre, two buckets and some shampoo!!

Whats good for cleaning the headlining?

Cheers Chris …hows your Polo running now? Sorted?

Try and get hold of some G101, dilute it down to taste and then use a brush to get into all the nooks crannys and grain of the headlining.

As for your trim try not to get it too wet, Ive found in the past that if its left too wet the dirt seems to come back through.

headliner, Cif, patio furniture cleaner etc, swarfega as it don't drip on you, use a good terry cloth to absorb the dirt.

vanish spray seems to come up a treat too tbh….

And if its too damp, cus its cold it can stay and create mould as it doesnt have enough heat to avaparate so it stays and eats away at your car whilst making loads of lovley mould.

Got it coming out of my heaters after it snowed, effort to clean and im not to sure i want to breath it in tbh.

Also, wood bees wax polish on a dash comes up a treat too and it doesnt leave too much of a sktty greasy feel compared with many interior cleaners…

My head lining started of crusty with horridness and bit of vanish got most of it off but it still needs something to get deeper into the textures..
