Car Wash Business PR and Dirty Secrets
Often you will read comments about environmental problems with car wash, truck wash and other mobile type washing services. This attack on the mobile cleaning sector is really only propaganda put out by the car wash industry and their Associations Public Relations machine, you see, there is a dirty little secret that the car washes do not want you to know.
Most who are in the industry would agree that carwashes and professional car washing as described in Industry magazines paints a positive picture of car washing where as the reality of pollution is always there. After doing a ton of research on the carwash and pressure washing industry and learning a number of important things it became clear that most mobile washers were in complete compliance of EPA rules and some actually helped the environment.
There are thousands of web sites out there and listed in car washing and professional detail magazines, which claim of state of the art environmental and water conservation techniques but only a few which are ever listed actually are environmentally friendly.
There are many companies which franchise in the washing industry and it appears that the best franchises are those in the top 500 list of franchises. I would have to encourage those who are looking to buy a franchise to look carefully at franchisors that are 100% environmentally friendly in the washing industry and not simply the ones who list themselves in a grouping with all the rest as good guys to our eco-system. So while I concur with many of the environmental comments in the car wash industry, I also believe that it is possible to buy a home-based business mobile car wash business, which promotes a clean Earth and also one, which is fun and outdoors. This research on car washing and franchising which brought me to these conclusions took several thousand hours and it is safe for me to say that much of the public relations campaigns about fixed site car washes being better for water conservation and environmental controls over their mobile car and truck washing competitors, well it simply is not so. Think on this.
