Comparing Car Washing Methods
Did you know that the average at-home driveway car wash will use 80-140 gallons of water according to the International Car Wash Association. It's not just water usage that's alarming, but also brake dust, oils, and detergents which enter our waterways completely untreated. Not only is this harmful to the environment, but it also violates the clean water act mandated by the EPA.
Using one 22oz bottle of our Eco Touch Waterless Car Wash can save up to 800 gallons of water. A gallon of Eco Touch can save over 4,000 gallons water.
Environmental Car Washing Myths
Myth #1 - "Can't I just buy a "biodegradable" car wash soap?" Unfortunately you will still be releasing a host of contaminants into the environment which negatively affect our water supplies. Brake dust, detergents, oils and grease all will make their way into clean waterways which pose a hazard to both aquatic and human life.
Myth #2 - "Washing my car on the lawn is better for the environment." Chemicals from the car will seep into the ground and can reach underground water tables. In addition, the soapy mess left on your lawn poses a danger to kids, pets, and surrounding wildlife which can mistakenly drink the water.
