Hello all, my last RV had a fiberglass roof, what does everyone recommend for cleaning and care of my TPO roof.

Thanks

Newmar motor coaches recommend Murphey's Oil Soap for cleaning. I've seen many folks on irv2 forum recommend hot water and blue Dawn kitchen detergent. Rinse well.

Here is some literature on maintaining TPO roofs and what type sealant to use. It does require a special self-leveling primer and sealant.

Thanks Ed, I was looking for how to clean and treat the roof. Soap, or some OTC cleaner treatment?

Mild soap and water, with a solf brissle brush for the sealant. It will look almost new when done. Some use 303 for a treatment. I just wash it every three months. While you are brushing the sealants, check them out to see if they need to be repaired. Any pinholes can creat a leak. Don't forget your kneepads.
