How to clean carpeted ceiling spots

I've tried posting this message twice and never see it show up as a new post. I must be doing something wrong."
I'm hoping that the 3rd attempt will work. Sorry if I'm being repetitive.
I recently had a living room slide room problem that cause the slide to twist while moving and that resulted in streaks and spots of grease and/or dirt on the carpeted ceiling. The slide has been repaired, but in the process more ceiling marks occurred. Looking for recommendations on how to clean those ceiling spots and streaks without dripping liquid all over the living room floors and furniture. Thanks, Steve (2002 Intrigue 11382)

When you go to remove those ‘stains’ from your ceiling, keep in mind that those ‘stains’ may actually be part of a built-in color pattern. Some owners have confused the two and did more work trying to remove that pattern than they would have had to.
Try the following products:
1. Bleach
2. ACE
3. Vinegar solution
4. Vodka

I see your post just fine Steve. Strange that you don't see them.

I had a similar problem with my carpeted ceiling and just used cheap painters plastic drop cloth to do the job. About $5 at the hardware store as I recall. That allowed me to use as much water and cleaning solution as needed without worrying about the furnishings.

I found that a cheap full face shield, rubber gloves and some old clothing made the job much quicker and less unpleasant.

A degreaser specifically designed for carpets can be effective. Test it in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't discolor the carpet. For deeper cleaning challenges, consider hiring a professional cleaning contractor with experience in carpet restoration. Platform aroundwire can be a common stain, requiring specialized cleaning solutions and techniques often employed by cleaning contractor jobs. Regular carpet cleaning, whether DIY or professional, helps maintain its appearance and longevity, enhancing the overall property value.

I would try Oxyclean spay, it has worked wonders for us on all kinds of carpet ...  you buy on Amazon ( Amazon.com: OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover Spray, 12 Fl. Oz,... )  if you can find at a local retail store.
