pierrick Bouquet from Ecolo Green car washWashing your car with a hosepipe uses around 440 litres (97 gallons) of water; whereas washing your car with a bucket uses around 32 litres (7 gallons).

Now for the ultimate challenge; could you wash your car without hoses or buckets and just a cup of water instead?

Impossible right?

Not according to Ecolo Green Car Wash!

Ecolo Green Car Wash is the brainchild of Pierrick Bouquet who’s goal is to educate Californians about the water crisis in the world. Ecolo Green Car wash is revolutionizing the car washing industry where 800 million gallons of water are wasted every day to wash cars in the United States.

Unlike conventional car washes, Ecolo Green uses environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic products to clean all your vehicles including cars, motorcycles, and boats.

These ecologically sound products don’t need to be rinsed away. Instead the products are sprayed onto your vehicle, organic polymers dissolve and lift away the dirt and the residue is wiped off with a micro-fiber cloth; leaving the surface buffed, protected and with a professional shine.

You can buy the Ecolo Green economical range of eco friendly products to use at home or employ a mobile team to wash your car at your business site; at your convenience.

A wash costs from $17 with a $3 discount on hybrid cars and there is a special offer to whet your appetite! If you purchase 6 car washes, you can get a seventh free.

Check out Ecolo’s current car wash locations, buy the biodegradable care cleaning products, follow Pierrick on Twitter @ecologreen or join his facebook page to keep up the Ecolo Green’s latest news and offers.

What do you think? Is this the future of eco friendly car washing?
