I purchased a motorhome which had set unused for six years. It survived that so well that I am shocked. No big problems after batteries were replaced. Even the generator is OK. A few trips have shown it to be in good shape.But one problem. The antenna had leaked, staining the light colored carpet-like ceiling. We used OxyClean on it, mixed one scoop to 16 oz. It just changed the stain darker! Has anyone discovered a solution to this?

Without knowing how large a stain this might be in advance, you might build a decorative round piece of wood with the antenna crank hole in the middle, then put that on the ceiling to conceal the stain.

I had good luck with a small handheld steam cleaner and vacuum cleaner. Use distilled water to avoid crud in tap water. Maybe a very soft brush.

You may have to clean it a few times to get the stain out. It wicks from the inside to the outside until gone. Ammonia and water may lighten it. We recently had a small leak on a slide with a brown stain. We noticed it before it had a chance to dry and used a shop wet vac on it. It pulled all the brown out and no stain now. Maybe if you try cleaning again and while wet used a good shop vac to suck all the moisture back out and repeat as necessary you may get it out. Don't saturate it or the adhesive could let loose.

Try some Folex you can get it at Lowes and other places.

Try Woolite Carpet Cleaner in a spray can.

they sell round plastic things like this to put where a ceiling fan is mounted or where a ceiling mounted light is.

Another vote for Folex, spray it on and BLOT..do not rub.It may take a time or two but it got out my stain.

I had dark water stains on my carpet-like ceiling. Used peroxide and water and it came completely off. Use it all the time now.
