Default Need help/advise in removing stains from ceiling

Long story short. I left an unopened can of soda in my car. Came back a couple hours later and it had exploded due to the heat. Can anyone recommend a good product to use to remove the stain from the ceiling? I was able to wipe everything else down.

There's a couple different ways I've seen. Some suggest applying some interior shampoos on some microfiber cloths and treating the areas that are dirty. Just be sure to not do too much excess while cleaning so it can dry properly.

i was reading up on how to clean my newly acquired (but used) Bride seats.. apparently 1 part Woolite to 6 parts water, in a spray bottle, and wet the surface first with damp cloth, spray the cleaning mixture, and with a clean towel scrub the dirty surface, and rinse the dirty cloth repeatedly as you're doing this. let dry, and supposedly will make the surface clean again. heard this works on headliners as well...

I found a can of Blue Coral upholstery cleaner in my garage. I sprayed some on a rag and wiped down the area. Stains came off pretty easy. Just don't use the plastic brush-top cap it came with. Thanks for the laughs and advice haha.

I've read that Woolite works well too.

There are several different types of Woolite including laundry detergent and rug cleaner. Of many different brands of cleaners Woolite is one of the more gentile.

Sorry to hear it. Soda is one of the worst things as it can eat away at certain finishes. I would spray the headliner with the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover and agitate it with a brush. It's my go to interior cleaner that usually works very well.
