Treating water staining

[Jake Royd]

Fixed a tiny leak this week in the motorhome roof/side capping.
All done. There is no dampness or rot but there is a water stain which darkens the shade of the finishing material on the interior wall.
I know I can cover this with formica or maybe with a plastic angle etc.

However , could I ask please if anybody has found any 'miracle' ways of removing this effect?

Tried normal cleaning materials, no change.
Thinking of toothpaste and other ungents...................

TIA

You could try Autoglym interior shampoo and agitate with a clean cloth

Thank you, I'll try those out.
Doing some Googling , Oxalic acid is suggested.
This is used to get various stains out of mainly the gel coat of fibreglass boats. I used to have a boat and it worked well.
I shall try some as well.

Only do a tiny part first. Someone used diluted washing up liquid on mine and it was hundred times worse.
