Not a water stain, but some yellowing under a previous sat dish we removed. Thanks for your suggestions!

Interesting suggestions re carpet. Aerospace 303? Do either discolor beige carpet?


I cannot comment on the 303,I use it on all the things that it is designed for and it works fantastic,this my be a new use.

As for the Folex I used it to get rid of a stain and also on a spot where a ceiling fixture was moved a bit and it evened up the color on my light beige carpeted ceiling.

Aerospace 303 has not discolored the stock light green carpet on the drivers side floor in the cab of our Class C motorhome - where I also use it periodically to keep things looking new on many other surfaces, inside and out.

I have no idea why Aerospace 303 cleans carpeting like this ... but it does. :h

Folex is superb ... but to keep some control on how much stuff we carry along in the RV it's always helpful to discovery a product that can have a double use.

If the ceiling is covered with a kind of fabric.

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.


Definitely a YES on that Folex - we use it all the time on our home's carpeting ... amazing stuff!!

Also, believe it or not, I use something that I carry along in our RV all the time for another primary purpose, but I discovered nicely removes spots in RV carpets when out camping - so it probably will work fine on RV ceilings: 303 Aerospace Protectant!

Ceiling or roof? How would a sat antenna cause yellowing on the ceiling?
