Eternabond says to use acetone, or their proprietary cleaner, which is probably acetone, to clean surfaces before applying the tape.

Soap (Dawn as an example ) and water with a bit of bleach. Medium bristled brush. Should remove first, mildew, any greasy stuff.

Well, the reason I ask is I'm getting my eternabond delivered tomorrow and wanted to get a good seal. I don't think that using Murphy's soap would be a good thing for this particular application

Here is Alpha's cleaning guide. I spoke with them by phone when I first got my trailer and customer service suggested Murphy's Oil Soap as it leaves a little oil behind to keep the membrane lubricated.

I would "guess" that it would work fine, but what does the manual recommend?
