Cleaning "furry" ceilings...

[piscesman]

We have a fifth wheel trailer (NOT a FR) that has white ceilings that are almost like indoor/outdoor carpeting...very furry texture. There are quite a few dirty areas especially around the A/C outlets....does anybody know of a way to clean them?...we are guessing carpet shampoo but the canisters are all designed to dispense downward!! My wife thanks you in advance!

Try spraying windex and then blot with a paper towel or another absorbent towel. That trick was suggested to me on my fabric headliner in an older car by an upholstery shop.
Seems to work

Try to rent a carpet cleaner that also has the attachments for furniture, they usually have a wand which sprays any direction, then sucks up like a vacuum. I have a Bissell cleaner that has the option.

Aerosol can of fabric cleaner in one hand and a shop vac wand in the other...

I have used "Tough Stuff" in the past when cleaning the ceiling in my old MH. It work well, the hardest part was the vacuming of the ceiling

I would try the fabric cleaner first rather than renting a rug cleaner. Much easier and cheaper.

Try spraying Tilex on the area and let set awhile, wipe off with paper towel.

Beware - that "carpet" is held on there with glue. make sure whatever you use doesn't dissolve that glue. Don't ask me how I know this.

I second that, car headliners are also "glued" up... Don't ask me how I know this either. Stay away from anything with a brush and serious scrubbing action.
