Roof Mold

[Rumpl]

All,

I have a 2020 2108ds with the typical rubber roof. I have lots of black roof mold spots I'd like to clean. Winnebago recommends Tilex for their TPO roofs. I can't find Tilex anywhere.

What do you folks use to clean black mold spots off the roof without hurting the rubber itself?

Thanks

Clorox Tilex is in our larger grocery store and Wal Mart. If nothing else Amazon

I did a search on the word Tilex and there are so many places that carry it, Clorox Tilex. It does contain bleach. Watch for the physical and chemical hazards.

Some things look like mold, but might really be something else, such as tree pitch.

The Clorox Tilex is Clorox "with" Tilex. It's not the sanctioned Tilex that they call for specifically.

I found a place that will have Tilex in Dec 2020. I'll order it and wait, no big deal. I was just curious if someone had an alternative that they use with good success.

Thanks all

As far as I can tell, Tilex is Clorox jargon for lauramine oxide (foamy coconut oil extract) and sodium orthosilicate (caustic). Clorox Plus Tilex is bleach along with an anti-foaming agent, fragrance, lauramine oxide (foamy coconut oil extract) and sodium orthosilicate.

Clorox owns the Tilex trademark and so far has no separate item as plain Tilex. Even resellers that advertise having Tilex when you click on the link display a bottle of Clorox Plus with Tilex. Would be nice to see the link to the plain Tilex available in December to see where it comes from and if real or just a name game.

That said Concrobium Mold Stain Remover in mild solution works great without the damaging bleach in it. On mold remediation crews we would use ammonium chloride with a little dawn dish soap on surfaces we did not want to damage with bleach.

I still do not understand how a 2020 model could have mold on the roof already. I would suspect it is tree sap.
