As gay as the infomercials are,,, Oxi Clean is a helluva cleaner for what you are asking. Just spray it on (in a dilluted solution) and wipe off with a clean towel. The stuff works great,,, had I not used it myself,,, I wouldn't say anything about it. It just might be the Zaino of cloth cleaners IMO.

If it's your original headliner, I wouldn't try anything to clean it, nor would I even look at it funny or it's going to start falling down...

You could try, but you might end up recovering it sooner than expected.
