How much clean water do you think is wasted every time you wash your car?
The accepted fashion of car washing has been a huge drain on fresh, clean water and has had negative effects on the environment. This water could be used elsewhere and does not need to be flushed down our drains. On top of this, car wash chemicals are bad for the environment and can have negative effects on your car’s paint and finish. Is there a sustainable, environmentally friendly option?
A lot of people are worried about finite resources in the world. Petrol is one, and fresh water is another resource that people are wasting far more than necessary. A traditional home car wash has been estimated to pour 300 to 530 litres of water down the drain, while a standard car wash at your petrol station could waste 130 litres every single time. This is estimated on singular car washes, and is a huge amount in a single field of water wastage.
Car washing chemicals have also been noted to have a negative effect on the earth and the environment. Along with the huge amount of clean water being poured down the drain, it is also taking with it bulk amounts of car washing chemicals that are often not eco or environmentally friendly. On top of that, the car owner also pays the price, as many of these products can effect the quality of your car’s paint and finish.
Waterless car washing products have been available for sometime and directly attack these two problems. The first, by providing a formula that actively attacks and removes dirt and debris on your car, and also providing a polish, you get a car wash that uses no water for cleaning and provides a superior clean.
The chemicals that are often used in these products are also created with the environment in mind. Firstly, the products are generally all wipe off products so they don’t need to poured down the drain, and secondly you also get a product that isn’t dangerous for the environment and can be disposed off properly.
So look into waterless car washing and take another step into protecting the environment and your vehicle.
