Going Green And Keeping Your Car Clean

Going Green And Keeping Your Car Clean
Which is greener a professional car wash like Buggy Bath or washing at home? The answer: Go with the pros.

Commercial car washes require an average of about 45 gallons of water per car whereas home washers typically use between 80 and 140 gallons according to the trade group International Carwash Association. Thats a big difference!

Few people realize that washing our cars in our driveways is one of the most environmentally unfriendly chores we can do around the house. Unlike household waste water that enters sewers or septic systems and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment what runs off from your car goes right into storm drains and eventually into rivers streams creeks and wetlands where it poisons aquatic life and wreaks other ecosystem havoc.

After all that water is loaded with a witchs brew of gasoline oil and residues from exhaust fumes as well as the harsh detergents being used for the washing itself. On the other hand federal laws in both the U.S. and Canada require commercial carwash facilities to drain their wastewater into sewer systems so it gets treated before it is discharged back into the great outdoors.

And commercial car washes use computer controlled systems and highpressure nozzles and pumps that minimize water usage. Many also recycle and reuse the rinse water. So feel good when you bring your car to Buggy Bath. Youre keeping your car clean and helping the environment at the same time!
