Even though much of the US has been under severe winter storm watches and record snowfall has been falling, other parts of the US are still very dry. Here is a map showing the high drought areas. This trend is not showing any sign of letting up. It actually shows signs of getting worse.
One way to save water and still maintain the clean look of your vehicle without adding to the drought, is to use a waterless car wash product. Going waterless, instead using of a bucket of soap & water, is the wave of the future and is catching on around the world. Freedom Waterless Car Wash is one of those products helping people clean without water.
The EPA estimates a person who washes their vehicle in the their driveway with soap and water, uses over 116 gallons of water. The water used to clean contains the soaps and grime that came off the car. This is usually flushed/ washed down the storm drain. Storm drains usually lead to a water system of some sort. It could be a stream, river, lake or an ocean. When you clean with a waterless car wash product, like Freedom Waterless Car Wash, the grime and dirt is collected in the microfiber towels. The towels are cleaned in the washing machine. The water from the washing machine is flushed down the sanitary/ sewer system. The solids are skimmed off and disposed of properly.
- When using Freedom Waterless Car Wash, you only use 2-4 ounces of product to clean your whole car.
- Home washing can use up to 116 gallons or more.
- Car Washes can use over 40 gallons
- Bottom line is the Freedom waterless product is “green” and the cleaning method is “green”.
Please do your part to help save water and find an alternative to using water to clean with.
