cleaning walls and ceiling
« on: October 19, 2025, 08:03:57 PM »
In my 99 Marquis Jasper, the walls and ceiling are covered in a fabric like, lightly padded material (photo attached). I assume it is a form of wall paper. After 25 years the walls and ceiling are well beyond the need for cleaning, expecially above the cooking area. My first impulse is to steam clean but am concerned that the adhesive, if any, may become separated. I have used Folex for spot cleaning but the area to be cleaned is massive in this coach. Any thoughts or advice on how to accomplish this task without damaging the fabric?

Rick,

I would cover everything up with plastic that I wanted protected and then use the folex on a mop head and lightly scrub it a few times a day for a few days.  Let it dry between treatments and hope for the best. 

My ceilings are in decent shape, but I have used the folex to spot clean.  My walls were not so nice, so I ripped them out and added vinyl clad aluminum panels on the top half, and used bead board panels as wainscotting on the bottom.  I don't have a Marque but it turned out fairly nice.
