Default not the same old hood liner question

So I have my hoodliner off right now so I can paint it. The thing is that the hoodliner is dirty, not bad just a little dirty. I want to wash it and clean it up before I start painting it however I don't want to loose the embossed flags or ruin it in any other way. Is it safe to hose the headliner off and use a little soap and scrub it (if necessary) to clean it or will it get damaged, loose it's rigidity, or lose the embossed logo?

You can not get it wet and scrub it, It will come apart.
Ask me how I know... lol

Someone must of tried to wash mine or something sometime 'cause the edges are all coming apart. I was going to take it off and paint it until I saw that. From what I've seen replacement is about my only practical choice.

I did this yesterday and it turned out great, take a shop vac and vacuum it real good first then paint it and you will be fine.
