A ceiling that consists of panels is generally a type of ceiling created below an unfinished ceiling used to help hide ductwork, pipes and electrical wiring. The ceiling panels are typically rectangular or square and are placed side-by-side on metal framework that is secured below the actual ceiling. Although the use of ceiling panels is often less expensive than finishing a ceiling with plywood or sheetrock, they are more prone to showing ugly brown water stains when a leak occurs from above.
Instructions
1. Cover the furniture and floor with a drop cloth. This will not only protect the furniture, but also keep you from having to clean the entire room when you are finished.
2. Don safety goggles to protect your eyes from falling dust and debris.
3. Use a feather duster to wipe away dust and cobwebs from the ceiling panel. You may also wish to use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently clean the ceiling panel to help further remove the dirt.
4. Dab the water stained area of the ceiling a soft dry sponge. If the water stain is new or on a painted surface, this is often all that is needed to clean it.
5. Fill a bucket with a solution of ½ cup bleach and 1/3 cup of washing powder with a gallon of warm water. Put on latex gloves to protect skin and use the safety goggles to protect the eyes.
6. Apply the mixture to the ceiling panel with a damp sponge. Dab the water stain with the sponge. Do not rub the or apply too much force. Allow the ceiling panel to dry.
