cleaning rubber roof

Is Murphy's oil soap safe for rubber roofs?
  • Yes keep roof clean and keep black streaks of side of rv. Plus you can check roof for cuts and cracks while you are up there

    X2 on the Murphy's Oil Soap. Been using it for 14 years, roof looks like new.

    I've used "Murphy's" and have also used "Spic-N-Span" with equally good results on my current and last two rigs.
  • So far no problems using Mequires boat soap or car wash a couple times a year. Also give the roof a once a year roof treatment product right after one of the washings.

    By (what) manufacturers?...:h

    Or - by word of mouth?...:h

  • I would think any soap is safe as long as it does not have petroleum distillates or petroleum in any way shape or form.
