REMOVING WATER STAINS
Are you wondering how to get water stains off tongue-and-grove wood ceilings after roof leaks?
First, repair the roof leak and permit the wood ceiling to dry completely. Then, go to a paint supply company for wood bleach, which generally is applied in two parts. The first solution is applied directly to the stained area and left for about five minutes. Then, while the surface
is still wet, the second solution is applied.
Use a nylon brush or rubber sponge to apply the wood bleach; use separate applicators for each solution. After both solutions have been removed and the area has dried, lightly sand to remove any residue. Remember to follow the manufacturer's specifications and always wear rubber gloves and proper eye protection.
