Water Conservation; Most Carwashes Do Not Recycle Their Water It is a Myth

Most carwash customers believe that car washes recycle their water but industry surveys actually show that 67.5% of the car washes do not recycle their water and all. The same survey showed that 20% recycled or water only in the washing stage. But if they are using recycled water in the washing stage then they are taking dirty water mixing it with bright colored soaps so you cannot tell and then washing your car with dirty recycled water. That doesn't sound very good to me, how about you?

The carwash industry has done a very good job with public relations and many people think that they recycle their water and are water conserving, but if 67.5% do not recycle the water then perhaps they have done a really good public relations job but they are not protecting us during the drought.

It is interesting that the public relations for car washes has done a good job on water conservation, but rather a dismal job with the fact that many hire illegal aliens. We should not let industries get away with trickery when it comes to something so important as our natural resources for water.

There had been “60 Minute” shows on the reality of the “hot wax soaps” and about employees stealing out of customers cars. Lou Dobbs did a special on the hiring practices of illegal aliens. But so far nobody is talking about the reality of the water recycling programs at car washes.

So, I thought it would bring it up now. Everyone must save water it is a vital resource in that includes the carwash industry and they should not be let off the hook that easily. Please consider this in 2006.[Lance]
