How To Deodorize Smoke Smells From Headliners

When it comes to getting rid of smoke smells from your car, the headliner is one of the most sensitive parts. Smoke often rises and gets embedded in the headliner, so it's important to take care of the problem as soon as possible.

A steam cleaner is also the best method for deodorizing headliners. Because it's glued on and resisting gravity, the headliner of a car is the most delicate area of the interior. It also receives the most odor damage since smoke rises and gets trapped in the headliner. If you use too much cleaning on the headliner, the glue will soften, potentially causing it to sag in the future. Steam is an excellent option because it cleans without the need for harsh chemicals or moisture. Just keep in mind that if steam is used incorrectly, high temperatures generated by the steam might also harm the headliner.

Because the method for cleaning headliners differs by model, we recommend cleaning them one section at a time to ensure uniformity. To prevent moisture build-up, use a microfiber towel while using your steamer. Finally, using cross-hatch motions, lightly agitate the headliner. Imagine you're polishing paint and using little to no pressure, making sure to cover all of the spaces until the headliner is clean.

IF YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF THE SMOKE SMELL, IT MAY BE TIME TO SCHEDULE A professional detailer to shampoo your car's interior.
