What do you use to wash the rubber roof?

Some time this summer I wash the roof on the trailer. What is the best stuff out there to wash the roof?

Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don

I use Spic and Span, anything that does not contain any citrus products as that will loosen the glue used to glue the roof down.

In addition to washing it, you should treat it also. I apply 303 Aerospace after it is clean and dry.

EXACTLY.

I can't say treating a roof will or will not do any good. I have never had a rubber roof issue having them on the last 4 5er's.

I just hose off and then scrub with soap and rinse.
