Moldy roof

I have a class A with a fiberglass roof.
I park it along a tree line in the summer & inside in the winter
The roof is black on about 25% of it.
I got up there today with a bucket of oxyclean mixed 3 scoops to a gallon of hot water.
I used a gental scrub brush.
It really didn't do much of anything.
I could pressure wash with a 1400 psi pressure washer.
I could use chlorine bleach, which could kill the grass.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
  • Pure bleach and let it soak is about the only thing I've found to get it semi-clean.
  • Beer. The more you drink, the less you care about the dirty roof. :)
  • My coach is parked in my driveway under trees for 3/4 of the year...and in the humidity of NC, the roof gets anywhere from black to green. The only way I've found to adequately clean it is to spend a day on the roof with a bucket of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and lots of elbow grease. I would NEVER consider using a pressure washer as it may penetrate joint seals and cause future leaks. I did find a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser mop that allowed me to stand up when scrubbing and it did a pretty good job. But there's nothing that get it as clean as good ole hands and knees scrubbing. The erasers make the scrubbing a little less intense than just using soap and a rag, but I won't lie to ya....it's still a job!
  • I would not use a pressure washer. (yes, I know some do...)
    Can you see the roof from below? If not then just leave it alone.
    Doesn't hurt it at all to be dirty.
