Automotive Guide Washing Your Car in the Driveway Causes Water Usage

Washing your car in your driveway is not helping the drought issue. We study such areas because we know we can clean cars using as little as 3-5 gallons with a pressure washer. Our company runs mobile car washes and we have set these units up in some 23 states. So we can was a car or SUV with between three to five gallons total per car whereas the home owner will use up to 100 gallons washing a single car. This is because pressure washers only use about 3 gallons per minute and a garden hose outlets could use as much as 10 gallons per minute.

As areas get into level two droughts more often between such drought cycles the water supplies become critically low. Water restrictions are put into action and enforced by usually municipal “water police.” These issues of drought years and populations and the balance have been occurring in the arid regions of the South West for as long as humans have been congregating in civilizations. In the last 10-year period we have seen Midwest and North West regions with droughts; even droughts in North East and Southeastern US.

If you are going to wash you are car in your drive way, use a shut off nozzle and if possible wash your car on the lawn so the water is simultaneously watering the lawn, these two simple tips could cut down your water usage by two-thirds. Think about it.
