Home MenuCar Wash Best Practices
For Residents and Non-Profit Organizations:
- Support local self-serve, drive-thru, or professional car washes that recycle wash water.
- Try waterless or dry car washing using a spray cleaner and microfiber cloth.
- Locate washing where water can percolate, e.g., permeable paving, gravel, or turf.
- Clear the runoff flow path of trash, dirt, and debris.
- Conserve water with a low-volume pressure washer or hose with an auto shut-off nozzle.
- Choose biodegradable, phosphate-free, non-toxic cleaning products.
- Empty soap buckets into sink or toilet and collect trash and debris for proper disposal.
- Ensure that the mobile auto detailer you hire follows best practices. See the Manage Your Flow on the Go Mobile Business Tip Card for more information.
