Water Stain Removal

We had a leak in the top of one of our slides after a driving rain storm. It has since been repaired. :h Left with stains in the fabric as shown. I need some ideas of how the best way to remove these stains. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    There was no photo but I'm wondering if Oxyclean would work?

    Try Folex. Let it sit for a couple minutes and blot it with a clean cloth. Might take a coupke of times depending on the stain. I use it for all my laundry stains. Avaliable at HD

    Spray Oxyclean and hot water on the stain, let sit for a minute. Use the upholstery head on a carpet extraction machine to pull out the wet mixture. Brushing the stain lightly might work.

    I've never tried this, but a local RV dealer told me they use a mixture of 50% water and 50% clorox to remove these types of stains. You might try this on a small spot if the other methods fail.

    I HAVE tried this method, and It is the most effective of all the other solutions, including oxyclean. Just cover everything underneath with a tarp.
