Cleaning Stains on Headliner and Upholstery

Hello,
I have a 2007 V that was the family car for 3 years. In that time the kids did a number on the headliner and upholstery in the back. Since the car is now my daily driver I looked around for a miracle fix for the many stains in the car. Alas! I think I found it.


Scotch Guard Oxy. I bought it at Wal Mart for about $7.00 dollars.


Here is a good example of the damage to the headliner. This is chocolate milk and other liquids. I took the Scotch Guard and soaked the area. As soon as the cleaner landed on the surface it began working. I simply rubbed with a white terrycloth and the stains were gone.


Here is the after photo of the area. I cleaned my entire headliner and the seats. I will post some photos of the seats at a later time. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to clean food stains from their upholstery. After applying the cleaner there might be some bleach aroma, but it goes away as soon as the surface dries completely.

Awesome! Careful spraying your headliner. If you saturate it to much it could start to sag. Well that's what happened in older cars. Another good trick is baby wipes. They clean headliners and seats pretty good in a pinch.
Baby wipes? any specific brand? because when we used the Huggies brand or the generic Wal Mart kind after a spill the stain remained. Thank you for the input.
We keep a container in each car in the psgr door. Used generic and big names. But like all stains, for best results get at the stain right away
Also try Krud Kutter. I used it to successfully clean year old stains on my headliner and it worked flawlessly. It also cuts through grease, and sticker residue like butter.
What about Tuff Stuff? I used it in my old car and worked fine.
I didn't try Tuff Stuff since I had already tried the product. I used Tuff Stuff years back trying to clean some stains from a used car and the product didn't have the same results that the Scotch Guard had.
how did it work on the seats, mine are getting dirty and i was thinking of getting this to clean the seats and headliner might try it on the 200sx as well do you have any before and after of the seats?

I didn't get the same result that I got on the headliner. when I got the car I sprayed the seats with Scotch Guard stain resistant and I wonder if this is why the seats didn't clean as well as the headliner. The stains are not as obvious as they once were, but you can still see them.
I've used tuff stuff on carpet stains it works well. No stains on the versa yet
are the original carpets worth it?

i have to change my carpets..

either i can go for a custom/universal from any shop, or i can buy original carpets from dealer at a HIGH price....

but are the originals worth it?

Well that is impressive.... can you explain that how you use that? Because these stains like completely gone. It rolled my head.. because I was thinking that only mother's detailing products have best results but its also have a good impression. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great photos and a good tool, but was it necessary to apply chemistry? After all, it was possible to safely clean with steam that does not damage the surface even if you clean it 1000 times. Personally, I use the Fortador Mini steam cleaner to clean my Versa. Be careful if you choose a steam cleaner, for example, I wanted to take the Optima steam cleaner model and came across an article Do not buy the Optima steamer before reading this in which there is a review on it and I realized that such a steam cleaner would not work for me.
