ROOF CLEANER ?

I use a mixture of Spic & Span, Simple Green, Bleach & Dawn dish detergent and lots of water to rinse and rinse the whole RV before & after. :)

I can wash it in an hour for a few cents. For me, clean enough is clean enough. I'm not going to eat off it and next month it will be dirty again no matter what you use. I have better things to do. Like go camping!:)

Don't forget the gutters! That's where all the dirt hides.

This^^ I do mine with Spic and Span in June (after the TT has been out of winter storage for about 2 months) and then again in September or October before it goes back in to winter storage. I simply use Spic and Span and a medium brush (as per the roof directions). It looks just fine.

I also spray out the gutters repeatedly throughout the process. I don't think people realize how much dirt/grime they collect and also how easily they clog up. They're so narrow that the slightest thing can impede water flow.

EDIT: seeing the point in the post above this about using household cleaners. The roof care instructions for our roof actually specifies using Spic and Span by name.

My only hesitation with using home-cleaning or similar products is that they may or may not be compatible with your roofing material. Bummer to find out you used the wrong stuff. We use whatever it is that the information on the roof calls for....not in my job description, so I don't know the brand. Surely can't think Dawn would hurt anything, but I'd be cautious of the other products.

I used Spic and Span on my EDPM roof just prior to taking my TT in for service. They told me the roof needed cleaning, so I let them do it. and they got it cleaner than I did. I'm no slouch so I need to call them and see if they will tell me what was used.

Kaboom bathroom cleaner will work perfectly. Clean small areas and wipe down with wet towel. Wash the roof the treat with preservative

Murphys oil soap, but don't know if it can be used on a rubber roof or not.
