I would use hydrogen peroxide in an inconspicuous spot first.

I have had luck getting blood out of most fibers with a few drops of regular blue Dawn (not the extra powerful ones, the simple or simply original version). Dip a white rag in water, put a drop of dawn on the end and gently blot at the stain.

Do not scrub. Always test it first in place you won't see. It usually works after treatment, but that is for stains that have not been baked in by sun. Those you may need to treat a few times to get them gone!

I would not recommend using a Magic Eraser as this usually requires a little rubbing and that may not be good for a headliner.

I think the blue Dawn might work - just dab and wait a few minutes - do not rub.

You can then dab with a drop of water and gently press dry with a clean white cloth. It may take a few times but try not to get the headliner wet as it may loosen up in that area and drop down (probably glued to top).

If that does not work you might try a drop of Dawn, a drop of hydrogen peroxide and a drop of water and gently dab that with a cloth or Q-tip (if it really is a light gray). Usually this mixture would not cause fading.

If you have a larger area you might try using a clean white cloth in a larger area but I would try the small area first to see if it work.

You can get it out with plain water. Just wet the spot and keep on squeezing and blotting the blood as it dissolves. You can also use an enzyme product like the ones made for septic tanks or pet urine accidents.

The bacteria in the product will consume the organic blood. You must keep the area damp for the bacteria to work.
