Use a baking soda paste to remove RV ceiling water stains.
A leaky recreational vehicle (RV) roof is frustrating and costly to repair. Once the leak is repaired on the outside of your RV, the inside ceiling is the next area that needs attention. Water stains on the ceiling are brown and unattractive. You don't have to take your RV to a repair shop or pay someone to come out and clean the stains from the ceiling. Removing the water stains is a task you can complete at home.
Instructions
Mixing & Applying
1. Place a piece of plastic sheeting on the floor under the water stain in your RV.
2. Mix 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide (3 percent) in a pot or bucket. Wear latex gloves to keep your hands dry.
3. Stir the mixture into a paste. The paste will be thin--that's OK. Dip a rag or cloth into the paste.
4. Apply the paste to the water stain. Let the paste dry on the stain for 30 minutes.
Cleaning
5. Use a funnel to fill a 16 oz. spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide.
6. Spray the water stain with hydrogen peroxide. Wipe the stain with a rag or cloth.
7. Re-spray the water stain with peroxide. Continue wiping the stain until it is gone.
For stubborn water stains, spray the spot with hydrogen peroxide. Wait two to four hours before re-spraying and attempting to remove the stain.
