Washing Your Car The Eco-friendly Way

One of the worst things you can do to harm the environment is to wash your automobile out on your driveway.В  All the road grime, gasoline residue, oil,В  that is washing off the car and the toxic washing products you are using go directly into the sewerage system and right out back into the environment.

In an effort to remove some tough grime such as road tar, car cleaning products contain a toxic soup of petroleum distillates and other nasty, nasty stuff.

If you are trying to go green, taking your car or truck to a car wash is one option because they have to capture the water and route it to the sewerage system where it is treated before it is discharged back into the environment.

If you must wash your car or truck at home, please use environmentally friendly cleaning products.В  A full line of environmentally friendly automotive products can be found atВ  Best Going Green Products/automotive
