Question Clean a Headliner????

Ok,, I need to clean the headliner around the door areas (top). It is soiled with dust and probably oil from hands and fingers. Question is Has anyone ever SUCESSFULLY cleaned one of these headliners without causing the headliner to come down? This is a major problem on GM cars! Is it also an issue with the Chrysler cars? Please answer only if you have first hand knowledge of this (ie you have cleaned them yourself sucessfully). I need to know what to use other than mild soap and water. I'm considering Clean Eaze
(Prep-Sol) on a slightly damp rag. I'd like to know of others experience with this problem and how you handled it. No second chance here if I screw up. Thanks Browser509

Lightbulb well, here's wht I did. It worked.

Well, judging from the views and no replies I guess that others might also have this question. So, I have cleaned my headliner and it looks fine today. I used Simple green (very mild stuf). I'd spray a section, rub with CLEAN terry cloth, in both directions, then finish
with a dry and very clean terry cloth wash rag, rubbing the napp in the natural direction of the napp. It looks great and I did not rinse. The caveats are: Don't do so large a spot that it makes the interior of the car very humid. Do a small section so that it will dry fast, expecially if the weather outside is wet and/or cold. I used extra heater (ceramic) placed in car and all windows down in my heated garage with overhead fan running. Also, be sure that you check your cleaning rags often and get a clean one as soon as you can see any dirt on the drying rag you are using. Do not use the simple green on plastic parts. You will need many rags, once they get wet or soild get a dry clean rag. It is also important that you do not brush in both directions during your final drying. If you do you will end up with little balls of headliner, so during your final wipping brush with the lay of the cloth. After, it has thoroughly dried you can brush to raise nap. GM cars are especially to dropping the headliner if you get it too wet. Not sure if the same is true of Chrysler products or not. Hense, my caution with humidity.
Hope this helps someone. Browser509
