FACTS ABOUT HOLDEN CAR WASH
AND WATER CONSUMPTION
- As many as 140 gallons of water can be used in a 10-minute home car wash, most of it wasted down the driveway.
- Holden Car Wash uses approximately 20 gallons per car (depending on the equipment used and amount of recycled water) Holden Car Wash uses 85% recycled water.
- Soap, oil and sludge from home and parking lot washes flows directly into the environment, or into storm drains that are intended for rain water, polluting rivers, lakes, streams and wet lands.
- Soiled water from Holden Car Wash is piped to water treatment facilities or runs into state approved drainage facilities designed to protect the environment.
- The computer controlled equipment, and high pressure nozzles and pumps used by Holden Car Wash is designed to get the most use out of water, cleaning cars thoroughly with a fraction of the water a home car wash uses.
- Professional car washes typically use less than one percent of water used in a large or medium size municipality. Holden Car Wash uses 80 - 90% well water so there is little impact on our already strained water supply.
- Holden Car Wash can offer an environmentally friendly alternative to parking lot charity washes. Please call for more information on fund raisers for your non-profit organization.
