Dirty Ceiling

Post by Dallas Baillio »

My 2001 RSB ceiling has become dirty with age. I am looking for suggestions for restoring it to near original brightness. DIY cleaning ideas - good sprays or liquids? Professional cleaning companies? How about painting it white with a spray or liquid paint? Other solutions? All ideas welcome. Thanks in advance.

My wife swears by FOLEX Carpet Cleaner. Available at Home Depot, Lowes etc. Uses it on carpet and upholstery. Used to clean our 2002 coaches wall and ceiling all the time.

Had our old coach cleaned by chemist. They did a great job and not too expensive either.

We also used Folex on our 1993. We bought ours on Amazon. It works pretty well. The ceiling was actually in good shape. Most of the problem areas were where people touched the carpet repeatedly like around the door and the occasional water stain, though there doesn't seem to be any water leaks now.

I’ve used Spot Shot cleaner with great success. It even worked well on old stains in my carpeted ceiling. Don’t even need to rub it in. Made in the USA - a WD-40 product. Comes in pump spray or aerosol.

Lol, Dallas. No stock in WD-40. Recently used Spot Shot to remove roofing tar tracked on my home carpet. BTW, I have a bottle of Follex in my utility closet too. :D
