Stoner Car Care Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner

Stoner's Upholstery and Carpet Cleaner comes in an 18 oz aerosol can and delivers a thick foam rather than a liquid mist, which is the key distinction for headliner work. Foam deposits less liquid per square inch than a pump-spray stream, limiting the volume that can soak through the headliner fabric and reach the cardboard or foam backing board beneath. The application sequence: shake the can, spray foam directly onto the soiled area, let it dwell 30-60 seconds with light agitation, then vacuum up the foam and loosened soil immediately. The vacuum step is critical and not optional; skipping it allows the stain to wick and spread. Multiple community members have documented successful use on OEM cloth headliners across a range of modern vehicles, with no board sagging or delamination reported at standard application volumes. Drying is quick and residue-free at normal use; a faint aerosol odor dissipates within minutes.

A good fit for owners dealing with scuff marks, fingerprints, sweat stains, or general surface grime on standard OEM cloth or velour headliners. The aerosol foam format and the vacuum-driven technique make it forgiving on the backing board compared to liquid pump-spray cleaners. Buyers needing to eliminate deeply embedded smoke residue or pet odors should know this formula is a surfactant cleaner, not an enzymatic odor neutralizer; it removes visible soil but cannot address organic odors that have penetrated beyond the surface layer. Owners of premium foam-backed or Alcantara-style headliner materials should verify compatibility before use; community data for those substrates is thin.

The GHS signal word is WARNING, driven by H319 (eye irritation, Category 2A). The SDS carries no H335 respiratory irritation, H314 skin corrosion, or H318 serious eye damage. H319 with an overhead aerosol application context is a documented irritation pathway; the applicator face is positioned below the spray zone and mist falls downward. Safety glasses address the H319 exposure pathway in this use context. Nitrile gloves are a reasonable precaution for extended sessions where blotting contact is sustained. Apply with vehicle doors open to maintain cabin airflow. On the environmental side, the dirty blotting cloth goes into the laundry, making the drain pathway real even at low application volumes. The formula is water-based with low VOC contribution from the hydrocarbon propellant; no PFAS or aquatic toxicity codes appear in the product-level GHS classification. No EPA Safer Choice certification.
