Important Facts concerning home car washing VS using a
Professional Car Wash

When you wash your vehicle at home, you don’t realize how much water
you waste, or where all of that dirty, contaminated water goes.

Home car washing releases contaminated water directly into storm drains that
are intended for rainwater or directly into the local environment by entering the soil.
This type of run-off can add to pollution in rivers, lakes, and streams. Much testing and study has been performed by the International Car Wash Association and other independent groups that prove that home car washing uses up to twice as much water as a professional car wash does.

Professional Car Washes Use Water in a safe and efficient manner

Local, State and Federal regulations now require stringent controls on the way a professional car wash is built and how it handles its water usage. We are required to pipe our dirty water into on site treatment facilities and/or state approved drainage facilities designed to protect the local environment. We also use water efficient equipment, pumps and nozzles which allow us to conserve water. In addition, the vast majority of our water is recycled using specially designed systems, allowing for minimal environmental impact. This allows us to clean cars thoroughly in a safe, environmentally friendly manner.
