Mouse Fur stain FIX!

I know some models have the Mouse Fur on the inside and there has been some discussion on how to remove stains. I was recently gifted a class c motor home that had extensive stains from unchecked roof leaks. I tried the methods I read about here and elsewhere but they were actually worse after. As I was cleaning up the rv to sell and buy (yet another) aluminum tube, I discovered this trick:
Spray the area liberally with "Moldex Mold and Mildew Stain Remover - NON-BLEACH" and let sit for about 5 minutes then get out your trusty shop-vac (or Ridgid Vac in my case) and without any attachment on the hose vac the stain away. Put the hose flush to the Mouse Fur and by gosh and golly (I curse like a sailor so it's weird to use those words) the stain disappears!
I had black and rust colored stains that were really tenacious, tried Borax, oxyclean, carpet cleaners, brushing, patting... you name it, this worked like a charm!

Hope this will help someone down the road.
Safe travels,
Ian

Thanks!
I've got a few stains that will not go away, so I'll give your method a try.
