How to Clean Your Car Without Toxins or Water
If you are the proud owner of a car, no matter which car you possess, it is no secret that you got to clean it one way or the other. Giving your car a wash isn’t just for vanity purposes, because keeping a car clean on the outside can help extend its life, and makes it more valuable when you’re ready to give it up for good. To wash a car tremendous amount of water goes in drain, not to mention those soapy suds can go down the city drains and potentially corrupt the water supply.
At last there is an alternative. With the help of waterless car wash products, it is possible to keep your car looking sharp while still working toward a green life. One option is Eco Touch. It is a waterless car wash product that is non-toxic, biodegradable, and petrochemical-free. Just spray it on and wipe it off, that’s all it takes to have a clean, shiny car. Then throw the special microfiber towels in the wash and reuse. Traditionally hose and bucket car cleaning uses 80 to140 gallons per wash. Chemicals from the soaps, brake dust, oils and other nasty toxins are released into waterways directly untreated. The waterless car wash eliminates these issues. The product is also “non-toxic, biodegradable, free of any VOCs, synthetic dyes or fragrances.
Eco Touch is made from plant-derived surfactants (coconut and soy) and a water-soluble polymer. It contains no fragrances, dyes, or phosphates. Apart from saving water, it will save you big money from taking the car to the car wash and it only takes a quick 10 minutes to clean the whole car. One bottle of Eco Touch averages 8 to 12 washes for $9.99. You can calculate and count the green you’re saving.
This is also a savings over washing your car using the garden hose, which runs up your water bill. And with recent water shortages around the globe, this spritz wash will keep you from wasting those precious drops.
One tip: If you’ve really let your car go until it’s covered with a thick cake of grime, you may want to take a trip to the car wash. Eco Touch works best if you clean regularly or to hold you over (and let you go a little longer) between regular washes.
For those who want to go the extra mile in detailing, the Eco Touch company also offers a metal polish for rims, fenders, and grills; dashboard and trim cleaner for use on interior leather and vinyl; and carpet and upholstery Cleaner for heavy-duty stain lifting without using harsh chemicals.
Couple this stuff with a cordless mini-vac to go over seats and carpet, and your car will look like one clean, green machine.
