How Our Burnaby Car Wash Saves Water Compared to Washing at Home

How Our Burnaby Car Wash Saves Water Compared to Washing at Home

Believe it or not, washing your car at our Burnaby car wash saves a lot of water compared to washing at home. If you wash your vehicle at our place, you will use less than half the water you will use at home. How do we do that? 

Efficient Equipment 

We use high-pressure, low-volume nozzles that use less water but are more efficient at removing dirt. Computer-controlled metering systems deliver a precise amount of water that you need without waste. Any leaks are fixed immediately. Automated systems shut off water between vehicles to eliminate wasted water. There are targeted spray patterns, so water is used exactly where it is needed and nowhere else. Soil sensors and presoaks reduce water use by pretreating heavy dirt, so it is removed more easily. 

Efficient Products 

We use soap products that actually clean, quickly and well. They require less water to rinse off. Then we use rinse agents that require less water for a smooth finish. 

Water Recycling 

We recycle water in Burnaby as much as possible. This greatly reduces the water volume used overall by the business. When cars are washed at home, the gray water just goes down the drain. 

In addition to all of the above, our staff are heavily trained in how to reduce manual operations and keep our water use down. We want our staff to know that water conservation is important to us, so having the staff understand how and why the equipment works the way it does is critical. You are much better off washing your vehicle at our Burnaby location than at home because it is better for the environment.  

Shine Auto Wash has been serving the Lower Mainland since 2009. With three convenient locations, Shine Auto Wash offers advanced automotive cleaning and protection technology and a service that is quick and efficient.
