Cleaning RV Roof

I just recently purchased a 2011 catalina. I pressure washed the sides and then went to the roof. I decided to do the roof but am not sure of what to use. Can I use a soft brush and something like simple green or those other cleaners to clean the roof?

For the roof, if it is a rubber roof, use Spic and Span with a soft brush and rinse with lots of water.

There are also wash and conditioner for RV roofs that you can get at Camping World and other places. I have seen others use a power washer on rubber roofs but I was told not to and I don't.

I use a pressure washer with psi turned down. Soft brush with dawn dish soap.

Just did mine the other day I usually used my soft brush & car wash soap but this time used Murphy's soap did a great job.

I just told my wife about how the cleaning is done with a soft brush and Murphy's, then rinse it off and I would get it ready to clean.

She ain't having none of that and said she will take it to a place to have it cleaned. I was thinking of paying the grandkids to clean it.

Used tide and a scrub brush then rinsed with water and a pressure washer. Painted it with two coats of hengs rubber roof paint. It looks great on a 2005 coachman Capri roof. Before and after puctures
