    Roof cleaning?

    What's the best product to use to clean the roof?

    Lots of mildew and leaf stains on the top. I'm going to put it under a cover soon, bit curious what is best to try and clean it up?

    Does bleach do damage to the material?

    Thanks!

    From what I read, bleach is a no-no. Just clean it with soap and water. Stains will probably remain, but they'll be clean.

    Thanks. I would have assumed bleach was a no go cause it can dry it out. No worries about getting it perfect white again, bit I'd like to get it cleaned up at least. Thanks!

    I use Theyford RV roof cleaner and conditioner with a medium soft brush. It doesn't get the stains out though. Some use Dawn.

    Just to add to my post, it's the dealer that sold me that, I'm uncertain if I'll buy it again.

    Thanks! I'll check out Theyford.

    I watched a video about 30 sec outdoor cleaner and how a guy uses it to clean the mildew lines on this Solitude roof. Seemed to work pretty good. I might try that also.

    If Epdm roof, do not use Dawn detergent.

    The answer depends on what your roof is made of. EPDM and TPO are different products. Find the manufacturer, then find their recommended cleaner. You'll never go wrong.
