Hi,

Are there any cheap or alternative methods of cleaning a rubber roof on a class c?

That rubber roof cleaner at Camping world is 30 bucks a gallon, wondering if there are any house hold type cleaners that would work just as well.

Thanks for any info.

I use Murphys Oil Soap. Its available at most grocery stores and is one of the products recomended for TPO and EPDM roofing.

Murphies and a long handled scrub brush. Stay off the roof.

Any mild detergent that does NOT contain mineral spirits or petroleum distillates will work just fine (manufacturer recommends Spic n Span but it's getting kind of hard to find). Soft brush used from a ladder (NOT by walking on the roof) and the labor is free

Why don't you walk on the roof?

When someone says, "I'm not book smart, I'm street smart." All I hear is, "I'm not real smart, I'm imaginary smart."

X2... I use a garden sprayer with water, bleach and Dawn dish soap, spray it on a dry roof and watch all the mildew spots dissapear, then just hose it off real good a few minutes later. Once a year, I will use a long handle soft bristle brush to remove the oxidation buildup that causes the streaking down the windshield, then a coat of 303

Full timing it since July 2012 My pics
