RV Roof Cleaning, Treatment & UV Protection Maintenance - Step By Step (Keep Your Roof Looking New)

I finally got around to making this video on how I clean and treat our RV roof. Our trailer is around 4+ years old and the roof still looks great. I hope this video is helpful or inspiring to you in some way.

By cleaning it the way I do has a few advantages: It stays looking like new; is easy to keep clean; and being so clean it allows me to be able to inspect it for any possible damage to the roof area. And by treating it: The roof is protected from UV Rays; and makes the roof easier to clean between treatments.

Note: Products I used and links to them are provided below.

WARNING -
Just a heads up, some people are recommending using Totally Awesome sold at the Dollar Store and other stores to clean your awning and sometimes they recommending it to clean trailer siding or even your roof. You should not use harsh chemicals on these locations. Take a look at the Safety Data Sheet information on this product and you will see what I'm talking about https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/60/606c762b-a9a2-4d09-abf7-0c7ca8c1e258.pdf

Alpha supplies different kinds of roofing and rubber floor membranes… their recommendation says,

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE ALPHA SYSTEMS ROOF MEMBRANE

Periodic cleaning (three to four times per year) is the primary maintenance required. Alpha Systems recommends using a non-abrasive household cleaner, such as Top Job or Spic-N-Span, and a medium-bristled scrub brush. Do not use any harsh or highly-abrasive products during cleaning. When finished cleaning, remember to thoroughly rinse the roof and sidewalls in order to remove any soap residue and to prevent streaking. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN WORKING ON TOP OF YOUR UNIT! THE ROOF MAY BECOME SLIPPERY WHEN WET.

DO NOT USE ACETONE, OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING PETROLEUM DISTILLATES, ON THE ALPHA SYSTEMS ROOF MEMBRANE. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL DAMAGE THE MEMBRANE.

Alpha's membrane is quite inert and will resist weathering well. It does not require the periodic application of products to protect it from ultra-violet light or ozone. In fact, these products can often cause damage to the roof membrane.

If you have any questions, please contact Alpha Systems at 574-295-5206.
