Lynda RE: Stain on Ceiling Post by Cyinda (106) | (03/14/2007) Contact If your ceiling is white or a light color you could try a water / bleach solution: Take 1 part bleach to 3 parts water, then soak a clean sponge in the solution. Get up on a chair or step ladder & hold the sponge to the ceiling for a bit. (Be careful to put paper towels or washcloths around your wrist, so the bleach-water won't run up your sleeves. Use rubber bands to hold them on.) You should also wear Eye Protection. *** Use Care to not get bleach-water in your eyes while holding sponge above your head! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIY's "The Queen of Clean" says this: Shave cream is another great spot remover. Put some on the spot and massage it in real well with a soft cloth and then blot it all up. It works well because it is nothing more than whipped soap and works great as a little spotter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * If this doesn't work & you have to paint your ceiling. You will need to prime your ceiling with a "stain blocking" primer before painting. You might also try to match the ceiling with a matching color of spray paint for a temporary fix. (anything's better than green!) Another "Stain Blocking "Primer" is Shellac.... Shellac will work to block stains before painting if you don't have a stain-block primer around the house. Real Shellac is the main ingredient in some stain-blocking primers. RE: Stain on Ceiling Post by michawnpita (125) | (03/14/2007) Profile | Contact Mr Clean magic eraser?
