As the Corporate Sales and Operations Manager for Splash In ECO Car Wash at the Wills Group, I’m excited to introduce our latest eco-friendly car wash, with locations in Loudoun County, Virginia and Indian Head, Maryland. These locations are a key part of our expansion strategy, which includes the recent launch of our standalone Splash In tunnel in La Plata, Maryland, and two recently rebranded tunnels in Delaware. These locations reflect our commitment to providing top-notch car care while protecting the environment. By combining high-quality service, cutting-edge technology, and eco-friendly practices, these facilities make it easier than ever to keep your car clean and green.
What Makes a Car Wash Eco-Friendly?
At the Wills Group, we believe in doing our part to protect the planet. Traditional car wash methods use excessive water and harsh chemicals, but some car washes invest in eco-friendly systems, making them safer for the environment. So, what exactly is an eco-friendly car wash?
An eco-friendly car wash prioritizes sustainability through water conservation, biodegradable cleaning agents, and energy-efficient equipment.
Commercial eco-friendly car washes like Splash In are also better for the environment than DIY car washes—washing your car at home results in untreated wastewater. The soap you use, plus the oil and sludge washed off your vehicle, enter storm sewers and pollute local waterways. Furthermore, home car washes can use up to three times more water than commercial ones, making commercial eco-friendly car washes the preferred choice for the environment.
Splash In’s Sustainable Features
An estimated 304 million gallons of water are used for car washes each day worldwide. Traditional car washes can use up to 100 gallons of water per vehicle. In contrast, our systems save millions of gallons annually by reusing water multiple times, drastically reducing waste. Our new Splash Ins in Indian Head, La Plata, and Delaware feature cutting-edge water recycling systems that significantly reduce water consumption.
We use advanced water reclamation systems to clean, soften, and recycle water. For instance, our Express Tunnel locations use half the water you’d use at home to wash your vehicle. This is just one of our many eco-friendly initiatives to reduce water usage and protect the environment.
We also use biodegradable, non-corrosive cleaning agents that are safe for your vehicle and the environment. Traditional car wash chemicals often contain harsh acids that can damage your car’s finish and pollute rivers, lakes, and streams. In contrast, our eco-friendly cleaning solutions, like Rain-X and Armor All Professional Products, carry the “Beyond Green” certification, ensuring they are non-toxic and safe for all vehicle surfaces.
By choosing Splash In, you protect your car and contribute to a healthier planet.
Energy-Efficient Technology
Traditional car wash systems use a lot of energy to power their large motors, brushes, and spray nozzles. At Splash In, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact while maintaining high performance. Our energy-efficient technology conserves resources, lowers operating costs, and reduces our carbon footprint.
We’re proud to feature the Belanger Freestyler system at our latest Splash In location, which delivers high performance without straining natural resources. This state-of-the-art system offers your car a gentle yet thorough wash while prioritizing sustainability.
Key features of the Belanger Freestyler system include:
- ClearBay® Experience: An open and inviting wash bay design that enhances your experience.
- HydroBlade® and Wheel Stinger®: High-pressure cleaning for hard-to-reach areas, achieving a comprehensive clean without excessive energy use.
- Energy Efficiency: Variable frequency drive motors that adapt to demand, conserving electricity and lowering operational costs.
- Safety First: Safety features like a pivoting top wheel and four rotating brushes adjust to your car’s size for thorough yet delicate cleaning.
- Gentle Wash Media: The Neo-Tex foam material provides a gentle yet effective wash, protecting your vehicle’s finish.
- Efficient Dispensing: High-tech dispensing systems distribute non-toxic wash chemicals with accuracy to the 10th milliliter, allowing us to use high-value chemistry while remaining competitive in our prices.
Our new location also offers convenient vacuum stalls with 12 times the power of standard 5 HP wet/dry vacuums found at most gas stations. These overhead detailing vacuums are easy to use, allowing you to move around your vehicle quickly. Each vacuum system uses variable frequency drives to throttle up during use and down when on standby, preserving energy.
With the Belanger Freestyler and our powerful vacuum stations, Splash In delivers top-notch service while reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability.
