Greetings;

A quick question, please! I have a little Thetford Roof Cleaner left - but not enough to do the entire roof; i.e. only 1/4 of the bottle. What if I mixed an equal amount of Black streak cleaner also from Thetford - would this be an o.k. solution to mix together and clean the roof in one shot??

I'm far away from an R.V. supply outlet and want to clean my 5th. wheel's rubber roof real soon. Any and all suggestions and advise welcome. Tkx. in advance.

I don't think so. If I am not mistaken Black Streak Cleaner is a petroleum based solvent that will damage the rubber roof. You can use any non-petroleum based cleaner such as Simple Green or ordinary dish deteregnt,however.

If you have a cleaner called "Spic 'n Span" there, you can use that on your rubber roof. It's quite gentle and is what we use on ours.

Mild soap is what is recommended and what does NOT void your warranty. Good luck / skip

Don't do it! Read your warranty and see what household cleaners you can use.
