I recently bought a Itasca class A 99, 32.2 foot. Could see brown stains around sunroof in bathroom and by front door. I'm kinda picky and was going to use the carpet cleaner put had some fears I would set the stain in and never get it out. I was at home depot and bought a product Zep Oxy carpet and fabric cleaner. States it needs no scrubbing, stains just vanish. I thought for $4.49 I could try it. I sprayed a steady stream overlapping the areas(which were about 6 inches wide by over 2 feet. Stain turned darker and I was saying to myself, I just made it worse. Being a little mad I went into the house and brought out my carpet cleaner. Looked up and stain was gone. I was a happy camper lol I let it dry for a couple days and you can see a faint color area around edge that it didn't remove the stain all the way so will need to go over it one more time. It looks so good now I probably should just leave it alone, but it works is what matters. It must contain some type of hydrogen peroxide since it
turned my finger white like hydrogen peroxide does when it gets into a cut. Scrubbing the area with warm water and blotting it dry makes it work better. I did that in another area with great results.
After I did that I went out and bought a few more bottles of it. Even used it in the carpet cleaner. I sprayed the fabric on the bottom of the captains chairs that was dirty(looked like engine grease etc) use a cloth the rub it in and then my carpet cleaner to throw clean water on it and suck it up and it came clean like new. Even a rv shop that flushed my brakes yesterday, called me to ask what it was again to buy some, I showed them the area I cleaned and they were impressed on how it looked. Total time to do the entire interior of my 32 footer was less than 2 hours.
Also read somewhere that hydrogen peroxide and some baking soda works too, but I like the Zep stuff, so will use that.

We had a similar problem with a ceiling stain. I used a 50/50 mixture of water and bleach in a spray bottle, it worked like a charm!

I have always likes ZEP product. They make a really good scouring powder. Unformulated that stores do not carry it and now Home depot is getting rid of it. At least in our area.

Another good scouring powder is Bar Helpers Friend(pretty sure thats the name), they have it at home depot also. Friend told me about it to clean the bottom of a shower etc, I used it on my stainless steel sinks and worked good. Plus it is cheap at about $1.90

Kilz makes a product called "upshot" it's made specifically for ceiling stains. I have used it in manufactured homes on ceiling tiles and popcorn ceilings with great results. I would not hesitate to use it in an rv.
