If it's the usual plastic stuff, swarfega should work well.

If any mould/mildew, Polycell 3 in 1 very effective at removal.

Searush, never thought of swarfega! just apply it with a cloth and warm soapy water off? Cant imagine how you worked that one out!!!! I dont think its mildew but thanks for the suggestion. Yeh its just the plastic lining stuff, nothing special.

My wife used a steam generator (just a DIY general purpose steamer) with the nozzle to clean our boat when we first bought her (35 years old). She just steamed and wiped clean / dry. It worked very well and the headlining looked bright and clean.

I saw it used on vinyl car seat upholstery and was well impressed. It would probably work on leather too if the colour wasn't affected & a feed cream was used after, cos Swarfega will probably remove most if not all of the oils.

On vinyl - Viro-sol citrus cleaner - use soft scrubbing brush to get into grain /wipe off

But perhaps use a vinyl conditioner afterwards as it may dry the vinyl out - as would some other degreasers.
You can dilite this stuff at least 100% (or even more) with water and it is still very effective. In fact works best when diluted. Using warm water adds to effectiveness.
Its very good on GRP - removes black streaks - dissolves any spilled oil/diesel but as its a degreaser also erodes wax polish.
Not for use on wood.
I got it from local cleaning supplies wholesaler. Phone the manufacturers and ask for a local supplier as mail order delivery costs may be high.
I have no connection with this product other than satisfied customer.

Ive got a bucket of olaxalic acid at home, might give that a try first! Might start in the rear quarter birth and give that a trial to see that its safe on the surfaces long term. Will keep you posted. Ta Nik

I use a solution of vinegar. Very effective. Vinegar used to be a usiversal cleaning solution throughout the house in Victorian and later times.
