RV Rubber Roof Cleaning?
HI
We received a call today to detail a 25ft. Toy Hauler. The customer wants the rubber roof cleaned. I have only ever cleaning the sides of an RV. Not really sure what products are safe and effective to use on the roofs.
Any advice on cleaning those rubber roofs?
I use mainly Meguiar's products and was looking into the Boat and RV line. Any Help?
Thanks

Re: RV Rubber Roof Cleaning?
There are specific products used to clean a rubber roof. I have used an apc and a sponge type mop to clean our roof. Did a pretty good job cleaning, but still left some spots behind. The specific cleaners and sealers do a better job on both ends. Camping stores sell many products for this particular application.
Make sure you are careful up there and don't tear that membrane. Rubber roofs are tough but can still be cut/damaged if not careful. Good luck

Wear a shoe with some grip, or go bearfoot. Those roofs get very slippery
Make sure you rinse throughly too. This includes the sides

Does the roof have mold spots all over it or is it just dirty?
If I have time tonight I will edit the video I shot today while I detailed a 35ft 5th wheel.

Use #### & Span with a soft scrub brush. As others have said, tread lightly up there as you don't want to tear the membrane.

What sinbad said^^^. I searched Duragloss, and Megs. No rubber roof cleaner. The bottle that I've got says premium rubber roof cleaner and conditioner. It was recommended for use before applying lap sealant to some leaky seams.

I'm not sure if it is moldy or not, i need to call the customer to schedule it anyways and will get more info. He said it is washed about twice a year.
