 Headliner Cleaning. [How to clean headliner without destroying it.] The majority view was that I shouldn't attempt it and that it would probably dissolve the glue and make the headliner fall down. Since it was really dirty (dust, various spots and water marks). It may not work for other cars and, for all I know, there may be a much better way. Anyway, this worked.
Gently brush with a soft (clothes) brush to remove as much dust as possible
Spray a little "Fabulous" brand carpet cleaner ($1 at the local dollar shop - this is not in a spray but in one of these pump devices - I guess other types of carpet cleaner like Resolve would work also but I didn't try) onto headliner. It will not foam (actually you will not even see it, so don't go overboard and drench it)
Leave for 3 minutes
Work in gently with a slightly moist synthetic sponge. This should create a little white foam.
Gently wipe off foam and clean sponge in clear water. Press sponge so that it is nearly dry. Wipe off more foam etc until no foam is left.
Let dry (make sure that the sun visors are down to let air ventilate).
If some dirt is left, leave to dry for a few days and repeat.
Make sure to be gentle and to use little water.

 I use a vacuum cleaner to take out the dust/dirt stuck in there from riding with windows down. Works great every time.

I cleaned mine recently, I tried Blue Coral, but it wasn't needed (bit of overkill)

Get two microfiber cloths, one should be mildly soapy and the other should be dry.

Rub the dirt stains with a soapy micro fiber and then dry up.

Fancy cleaners are not needed.
