Summer Lily Pad - a Clean Roof

 

After Cleaning

Cleaning the Roof and Awning 

With the return to our summer "lily pad" we cleaned the exterior.  We trek in our 210P but we have several lily pads to hang our hats. This post is about the exterior Spring Cleaning of the roof and sides of our 2010 Heartland Caliber, which is our cabin on the pond.   I'll be waxing and buffing the fiberglass nose when morning temperatures are above 70F.

I do exterior cleaning in the early morning before the exterior is heated by the sun.  If possible when it is overcast. I use a cleaning solution comprised of Dawn dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide and water on the exterior.

I first spray with cold water, and then I apply the cleaning solution with a soft brush.  I scrub the entire roof, too.  

I spray the awning and then brush.  After knocking off the loose dirt I apply the cleaning solution and scrub again with the soft brush.  I then retract the awning while wet with the cleaning solution.  I let it sit for a couple of hours.  Then I unfurl and spray and scrub again. Then a final clean water rinse.

After cleaning, the slide already has tree droppings within minutes...

Awning after drying - already has tree droppings....
