CAR WASH IS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

VS.

WASHING AT HOME

WATER USAGE

up to 140 (gal.) WASH AT HOME

40 (gal.) CAR WASH

In most cases, the water and detergents that you use to wash your car at home drains directly into storm drains and/or grass, which can damage the environment.

When you wash your car on pavement, the rinse water runoff — along with all the chemicals it contains — can go to storm drains that empty directly into rivers and streams. This pollution has been proven to negatively impact aquatic life and ecosystems.

WaterSavers® car washes prevent water pollution by routing wash water to treatment prior to its return to the environment. These car washes also use only 40 gallons (151.5 liters) or less of fresh water per car wash — less than the typical home washing machine.

Do your part for clean water. Wash your car at a participating WaterSavers® car wash.
