    In this thread, I blotted out some mechanics' greasy handprints using white napkins soaked in isopropanol and soda water.

    Only, only, only, blot. Do not rub or scrub. Let the bubbles in the soda water do the mechanical work.

    Otherwise, you could have this experience.

    +1 Yes, this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. NEVER SCRUB! DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE BRUSH OR ANYTHING HARD. The headliner of PP (and all Gen4) are easy pilled.

    Headliner pills too easily | PriusChat

    I had my first oil change on my 2021 PP at a Toyota dealer a few weeks ago and noticed this stain on the A-pillar liner after the service. I noticed it when I got home and did not want to drive back to the dealer.

    So, I cleaned it DIY. Used only soapy water (nothing harsh, just a few drops of dish soap in warm water) and a microfiber towel to blot. Yes, just blot, no rubbing.

    Came out OK.
