Piper headliner (was: simple and cheap tricks for your plane)

I bought a pack of those Armour All wipes and was amazed with how well
they cleaned up the interior plastic and headliner. The headliner did
not get as clean as the rest of the plastic because the headliner in
my Dakota 236 has a weave pattern. But these wipes did remove enough
to make a drastic difference. I bought the orange kind, and I found
that they also worked really well on the exterior of the plane for oil
marks and bird poop!

We have a Cherokee 140. I want to know if anybody knows the simple
and cheap trick to clean our headliner. It is actually in fine
condition, but it has a LOT of brownish spotting on it, apparently
caused by moisture (you know, condensation, leakage, etc. - not
that OUR plane leaks!). It looks like crap. The headliner appears
to be a heavy fabric, almost seems like it is vinyl coated.

I tried washing it, spraying it with a variety of liquids (ammonia,
bleach and water, Formula 409). They helped to reduce the intensity
of the spots by about 30%, which is not nearly enough.

Ideas?
