Question. Chicago, IL - There’s something wrong with Leroy our son, originally adopted by my husband’s first wife. Then she joined the National Guard and we don’t know where she is. Leroy overflowed the toilet upstairs. This somehow made the light bulb blow in the kitchen ceiling light fixture. He changed the bulb with oily hands from working on a bike chain. He then tried to shake up and squirt a bottle of Coke on our Irish sitter – not the dog type but my husband’s uncle Patrick who sits at our kitchen table and smokes. The Coke, toilet water and bike grease has combined to create a stain immune to any cleaner I throw at it.
Answer. You might just apply a little white shoe polish (the liquid kind) on it and cover up the whole mess. Have Patrick smoke in the family room while you doing it. One expert suggests rubbing cornmeal over oil and then sucking it all up with a vacuum cleaner after it sits for over an hour. Not sure how well that will fly on your ceiling. For pop or cola another pro suggested using club soda to clean it. Wet the surface with club soda then blot it off. For the urine stain a special cleaning solution of one part white vinegar to 3 parts water is suggested. Now I know what you’re thinking! You mix the white vinegar solution, cornmeal and club soda together and you’ve got a magic urine-oil-cola cleaning miracle. I don’t recommend it. That combination might produce unstable rocket fuel or poisonous cornbread for all I know. It could do who-knows-what to your ceiling.

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
