That Was A Nasty Water Stain!
After Jon had replaced the cracked skylight, it was time to
treat the water stains on the motorhome shower ceiling. That was my job, and I
was nervous about ruining the carpet-like fabric on the ceiling.
I watched several YouTube videos and tested a 1:1 bleach and water solution in a corner of the shower ceiling. The dark stain was so ugly that I figured I couldn’t make it worse. The good news was that it was just a stain--there was no moldy smell.
After taping around the ceiling and applying plastic to protect the wallpaper, I was ready to start. I masked and gloved for protection, then mixed my bleach solution in a spray bottle--1 cup of bleach with 1 cup of water. My first attempt was to apply the solution with a sponge. It was working but was too slow and drippy.
I waited a day for the ceiling to dry and to see if the
stains were gone. Nope. The stains were lighter but still visible. I hit it again with the spray bleach solution. It took four treatments over a week before I was satisfied. Jon says it looks as good as new!

Wow, great job! You are persistent to do that four times, but it worked. I would be very happy about that too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The YouTube videos I watched showed what to do and what it looked like after one treatment (still yuck), but only said it would take more than once. Now I know!
