Stain on Ceiling

I have a water stain on the ceiling of my fifth wheel. I have repaired the leak and would like to know if anyone can suggest a way to remove the stain from what I would describe as a carpeted ceiling.
  • We recently traded for an 08 revolution that was inhabited by smokers. One of them had made scorched marks on the window shade. I used a Clorox wipe and wiped at the marks and let it dry and wiped again and let dry. the scorched places are now gone. BTW I love Folox and use it for lots of things.
  • I had a few stains on a previous MH and used Oxyclean spray--- let it sit a few minutes and blotted it with a towel. Repeated a few times and you'd never know the ceiling carpet had been stained.
  • I own a Bissell carpet cleaner and it has an attachement for the furniture. I added Folex to the cleaning bottle and used it to remove the dark water stain from a loosely mounted roof a/c unit that allowed roof water to enter the opening. Worked out very well. Folex is a good product.

    I have had great luck with Folex,on my ceilings just spray it on and BLOT don't rub,you will be amazed at how it lifts out the stains.

    It may take more than one application but it took out all of my stains.

    You can get it at most big box home improvement stores or Amazon check out the reviews and pictures.

    Haven't had that problem but more than one have given the oxyclean solution.
