How often do you clean or treat you roof.
I check my roof twice a year for cracks in the sealant around the various seams. Since I have a 2010 era "Lite" trailer I cannot walk on the roof without laying down plywood and must do my inspection ...

Never saw anybody wash a rubber roofed building, so I don't, either.
The typical roof height for a warehouse is about 25ft so most of us probably have never seen it done lol. But commercial roof cleaning happens all of the time. It's more important for a building than our trailers. A dirty roof doesn't reflect heat very well and this drives up cooling costs.
Now having said that, My company which has many thousands of large warehouse and retail buildings does not wash the roofs... Even here in AZ where it would suppossedly do the most good. I figure that someone did the math, and the cost of washing vs not and paying a little higher electricity bill did not work out favorably for washing.
