Dreaded leaves from an Oak Tree

My caravan is stored a few yards from a large Oak Tree and fallen wet leaves had collected on the roof. What a mess! The roof was covered with hundreds of circular brown stains of tannin. It was like a Leopards skin. Out came the ladders and I tried various proprietary caravan cleaners which had no effect at all. My heart was beginning to sink. I have parked the 'van' there for 20 years and never had a problem like this.

My OH suggested I try 'Milton' I diluted some at 75% Milton and 25% water. With a bit of elbow grease the stains slowly disappearded.  There aren't many more leaves to fall, I will be out asap with a brush to get rid of them. Thank goodness for Milton
