Solvent for orange headliner foam?

[Max Hoepli]

I've had that problem myself, the best thing is to vacuum and put a cloth
all over the car, remove the head rests, there are clips to remove by those
round black plastic head rest sockets, I kept those black clips off and
stored in a small container in the car. A skill is required to remove those
black metal clips.
For C$600 I've had the headliner replaced.
