Cleaning an epdm roof
Good morning everyone. I am having trouble getting my epdm roof clean. I bought this 2011 Puma back in July and I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned the roof. I am presently using Lucas #1...

Now that you DO have it clean, spend the $10 and get a gallon of rubber roof conditioner and apply it to the roof. It will help seal that "white" stuff up more, and put some 'stuff'back into the "rubber" to help protect it. Think of it as vitamin oils for the rubber roof. The difference after it dries is like night and day. Also, makes the roof nice and smooth, so water, dirt rolls off much easier too.
Funny, so many will put so much attention into tires and waxing the sides of their campers and such, but do so little to help protect the most important part of their camper ... the roof, other than checking cracks in the caulking, they do nothing to the roof. Don't make sense to me. But, to each his own.
I don't think you are "helping" your roof at all. You are just making yourself feel better. All these roof conditioners just started appearing a couple years ago when people DEMANDED that manufacturers give them something to make them feel better. They gladly sold a product and made a profit on something that wouldn't hurt the roof, but I have yet to see one iota of proof that it helps or lengthens the longevity of the roof.
