Been doing this for the last 10+ years.
I use the same method & products on the awning, but roll it up while it's soaking, unroll, scrub & rinse.
In 40+ years of rving have NEVER used any type of treatment on the roof, only cleaning, periodic inspections & resealing as needed, never parked indoors or under cover, never had a roof issue.
If I recall the roof manufacturer recommends only cleaning with a mild soap, no treatment mentioned.
WOULD NEVER USE BLEACH ON THE ROOF!!! Nor any product containing bleach.

Thanks for the answer. Do you rinse the Simple Green off the roof before you scrub with the Turtle Was car wash and McGuires Gold car wash soap?
