Caring for your car also means caring for the environment around you.💧
When washing your vehicle at home, water can carry oil, fuel residue, soap, and other pollutants into storm drains, and sometimes directly into rivers and lakes.
Here are a few simple ways to wash more responsibly:
✔️ Choose commercial car washes, where water is treated before being released
✔️ If washing at home, use biodegradable cleaning products
✔️ Wash your car on grass or gravel instead of pavement to help absorb runoff
✔️ Use a bucket instead of a continuously running hose to reduce water use
Taking care of your car also means taking steps to protect what surrounds you.
