Tip: How to remove a water stain from drywall
+15
Do you have a stubborn water stain on some drywall? Before you whip out the paint, try this tip: mix a solution of 10% bleach to water, dab the stain lightly with a rag or brush, and watch it disappear before your eyes! So handy, simple, and inexpensive!

Good tip! I've done this on my textured ceiling.
Oooh I have to try this, we rent our apartment and my husband is always worried that our landlord is going to be upset from the slightest stains on the wall. This tip will definitely give him peace of mind. Thank you!!
I need something to clean my cloth ceiling in my car. It leaked in the rain and is now stained. Any suggestion???
Yes bleach will take care of water stains!
Ok thank you!!!!
No worries thank you!
Mix 1/3 Clorox with 2/3 water in spray bottle and spray area and let it dry. Spray again and let dry . Repeat until the bleach bleaches out stain. Make sure you put drop cloth down before spraying ceiling.
I just did this and it worked! I had to go over it a couple times and I increased the bleach ratio a bit due to my bad stain. Thanks for saving me the cost of a painter!!
I have a question; I put stick on decor stickers on my wall....and they left spots on the wall. Any suggestions to get them out
Thank you for this tip!! I will definitely use this!
