Pop Up vs Mouse

I know I haven't come here in forever (again). I always say I will, and then I don't. This week I found something I figured I could blog about and maybe it would help some poor soul not have to endure what I did. 


We had a mouse nest in our pop up camper. Let me just tell you that I wish we would have spent more time plugging the holes in it, in the first place. 


We have a camping trip planned July 1st - July 6th. I went out to clean the winter grime from the inside of our camper, only to discover a giant (2'x2') brown stain on the ceiling over Isis' bed where a mouse nest had been. I had absolutely no idea how to clean it and I've put it off as long as I can. 


I figured maybe just bleach water? Nope. I guess that turns the canvas yellow and gets rid of the waterproofing properties. Dish soap, lysol, baking soda? Nope. The thing that cleans it? Ivory soap! 
The soap needs to be PH neutral, I'm told. 


So in the event of mouse crap...buy Ivory.
