I use only Rubber Roof Cleaner made for RV rubber roofs, and then follow up with the Rubber Roof protectant against UV rays. (twice a year .. Spring and middle of summer...) I know there are lesser and cheaper methods, but why take chances on cheaper cleaner solutions that may damage the roof long or short term later. The RV Rubber Roof cleaners and conditioners are designed to have all the "stuff" that will not only remove the dirt, but also put the "nutrients" back in the soil to keep it healthy! (to use a farming analogy here).
My way of thinking: You purchased an RV that cost you a bazillion dollars. Why cheap-out now on servicing it? Use the right product for the right job. You paid the price for the RV, so pay the price to maintain it. Besides, in the log run, the right product will save a costly repair later, especially if the roof dries out because you used too harsh a cleaner on it and it stripped out the oils that make the rubber what it is, and then cracks, tears, and peals.
