Environmentally Friendly Pressure Washing Standards

The business of pressure washing, steam cleaning, and pressure washing has certainly changed in the last two decades. Environmental restrictions are driving away most of the non-compliant companies, leaving just a few to carve out the lion’s share of the carwash market.

Those businesses that continually offer the best price, quality, and service to the business consumer will succeed. Those companies that wash fleet vehicles without destroying them with hydrofluoric acid in a two-step process will do better in the market because they won’t dull paint, whiten decals, rust frame, melt windshield wipers, won’t change blue windows or ruin the rubber.

For those businesses that want to avoid becoming an environmental disaster, perhaps they should purchase one of the Delco Wash Systems method videos on DCS1.com. Seen only in a very educational but somewhat boring 90 minute video, barely audible over the lair of a noisy pressure washer, but well worth the cost.

Many customers complain about non-compliant pressure washer companies, talking about everything from washing cars with a cold water unit to destroying garbage trucks, delivery trucks, bobtail trucks and bobtail trucks with acid. . All truck leasing companies have complained to our crews in the past and we’ve even heard stories of competitors stealing cassette tapes from trucks. We’ve heard of no-shows, false billing, non-English speaking workforce, we’ve heard stories of environmental citations. We even heard from a company whose washing machines were fined for dumping washing wastewater into storm drains. Be responsible and respectful of the environment and your pressure washing business will take off. Consider all this in 2006.
