Now that I'm looking at the ceiling so much, I've noticed some dis-coloring where Brett changed-out the AC units. This 'project' has sore back & neck written all over it! Quote Selected
Re: Suffering ceiling stain! Reply #28 – December 26, 2019, 11:04:24 am Yup, very few replacement A/C ceiling units are exact footprint matches for the OE ones on coaches with non-ducted air.Probably the best solution I have seen to address this is to remove the ceiling unit and install a thin sheet of fiberglass cut to go just outside the OE units line. Paint the fg to either closely match or nice contrasting color. Quote Selected

We had a similar stain by the air conditioner. It works great! I bought it at Ace Hardware. I've seen at the Big Box Stores also. It works like magic. You can instantly see the stain disappear. John,After seeing your post yesterday I went to Lowes and bought a bottle of Folex. Used it on the ceiling at the a/c vents and on some old water stains on the carpet around the shower. I was amazed how easily the stains disappeared. It took a couple of applications on the old water stains but they faded away and the carpet looks good again. I just sprayed it on, worked it in with my fingers, and then wiped with a terry cloth bath towel. Works better than any other product I've ever used!Thanks,Jerry Quote Selected 3 Likes
Re: Suffering ceiling stain! Reply #32 – January 02, 2020, 01:32:18 pm After reading John & Carmen Morales post I went and purchased some Folex carpet stain remover. We have a black stain in the locker over the entrance door, Nothing would remove it. Joyce went into the coach and tried it. I was out side when I heard "Well, I'll Be D....d"! Stuff actually works. Stain just disappeared with no rinsing. Nice to find something that works.Keith Quote Selected 4 Likes

Spray the Folex and let it work. Don't be afraid to spray it good. Then go over it with the rung out sponge to rinse off the residue you have. It will work.John M. Quote Selected
