Cleaning ceiling

I noticed that my ceiling is filthy from years of smoking, outside dirt, and whatever else. It's the thin cloth type ceiling and I don't want it to start hanging after cleaning it. I was thinking steam cleaning it, but I'm afraid the heat will loosen the glue underneath. Anyone know of a safe method to clean this type of ceiling?

Y!! you smoke in your car, y you make your babe smell bad ?. :iceslolan . Back in the day, when I just date my girl, I wass piss of at her, cause she light that cigaret in my car, I smoke too but I never smoke in my car, or any one else can smoke in my car, they have to get out my car, if they want to smoke. :evillol: .

To the original poster: I would not attempt to steam clean the headliner. I have a funny feeling that you will seperate it from the roof. If you do attempt to steam clean it, I would try it on a section in the corner out of sight.

Might be best just to replace it.

before you replace it. try gettin a soft rag and some foam type window cleaner. spray the foam window cleaner and let it sit for a sec to break down shit. then rub. do this over and over.

try some resolve carpet cleaner and a rag.

try it on a little spot, and see how effective it is

Why do I smoke in my car?
A. Because I can
B. Because I want to
C. Because it's the oldest car I own
D. Why do you care?, does it have an effect on you?
E. What spyderturbo007 told you

To everyone else, thank you for normal replies that are actualy usefull and understandable. Anyone know how hard it would be to replace the headliner? I'm gonna try to clean first, but if all fails, the only option I have is to replace.

Well... i was a retard and i used a SHOP-VAC to clean the ceiling... and it was kinda hanging down just a little, but after vacuming it was alot cleaner and it wasn't hanging down any more than it was before, maybe i just got lucky =O
