I've used Ivory dish washing liquid and for the stubborn spots I use a spray on rubber roof cleaner. After washing the roof ya gotta wash the sides so the streaks don't stick.
Never tried Spic & Span

mike, check out this link. These people invented the rubber roof, and they know how to maintain them.

And yes, they recommend Spic and Span.
Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that frisbee getting bigger?"...and then it hits me!!!!

I use the Protect-All products. Not cheap and some work. I two-step process: a cleaner, then a protectant. I do it twice a year and just follow directions. Can buy at CW.

Some of the products for cleaning an EPDM roof can actually damage them and in some cases void the warranty. Manufacturer recommends mild detergent only and names Spic N Span specifically. Any product that contains petroleum distillates is expressly mentioned as harmful to your roof. Manufacturer also states that no sealer or conditioner is either necessary or even recommended. Good luck / Skip

Personally I used Dawn Blue Liquid dishsoap. I just bought my coach this January and I have found that the roof had not been cleaned in over two years. It took me about three hours to do a very through job.
I am going to do it one more time after I get some protectant for the roof.

I have always used either Spic and Span or Bon Ami to clean the roof. It looks good when completed.

I was advised to use Spic and Span, got it in a quart bottle, it is green. It is suppose to leave no residue. I cleaned my rubber roof last year with something that left a residue, now patches are peeling off and I have to redo it.
