Cleaning Solutions That Work on Rubber Roof

Folks,

My husband and I cleaned our travel trailer's rubber roof this afternoon with soapy bleach water and a scrub brush. It worked mostly okay, but is there anything that works better? We're under trees and have regular tree goop to clean.

    Bleach is not really recommended and absolutely nothing with petroleum products/ingredients.

    Some tree sap and a few stains are perfectly acceptable on a roof.
    You risk damaging the roof by trying too hard to aggressively remove them.
