Air Conditioner Run-off

My rubber roof has turned green where the moisture runs off from the air conditioner. Anyone have any suggestions how to remove the stain? Also, does everyone cover the air conditioners every year?

I always put covers on our AC, our trailer is outside all winter. I try to remove most of the snow from the roof if I can.

Simple Green, Awesome, Camco rubber roof cleaner, Thetford rubber roof cleaner, or Protect All rubber roof cleaner to name a few and a soft bristle brush takes most of it off. We have lotsa leaves and such, so yes we cover our A/C's

For years I covered the AC unit now I do not quit honestly I see no good reason to cover!

I do recommend if you do not have vent covers the brand name escapes me for now get them including the Fantastic Fan.They sure help protect the flimsy vents from the elements Sun and Snow not to mention their advantage the ability to keep vents open when it is raining.The option is to construct boxes made of wood the lay over the vents during winter storage adding a couple bricks to the top to insure they will not blow off! Something we did for years and it works wellq

Never covered the A/C. Never covered the RV when we stored them for the winter all 6 of them over near 30 years. Never removed the snow from the roof. We just winterized them, removed the batteries and waited for warm weather.
