[VAC] Re: Sticky ceilings

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Residue on the ceilings can be conatributed to from cooking, etc within 
your unit but I cannot fully accept that as the total cause of sticky 
ceilings.  Neither do I think it is from adhesive bleeding thru.  My 
presumption is that it is simply a chemical reaction taking place within 
the vinyl.  Many of us successfuly remove stickiness  this using a citric 
based cleaner (usually an orange based product) but will note ceiling 
will become sticky again over time (couple years or so)  and we need to 
clean again. I suspect the age of the trailer  may make a difference and 
we might find that the 70's trailers are more prone to this and those 
later units.
