Menu Kaady Car Washes WHAT WE DO WHY WE DO IT HOW WE CAN HELP Kaady Car Washes & The Environment What’s so bad about driveway car washing? Just consider all the corrosive and toxic substances that get deposited on well-traveled streets, roads and highways …including asphalt, ferites, engine and brake residue, antifreeze, grease, oil, rust and asbestos, to name only a few. All these contaminants collect on tires, wheels, fenders and other vehicle surfaces, after which runoff from home car washing can eventually release them into storm drains designed for rainwater. Even if bio-friendly soap (or no soap at all) is used, hosing off a car's body and wheels dislodges pollutants that can end up in rivers, lakes, and streams. Rather than flush these biohazards into the water supply, come to Kaady. Now that we all know better… Today, people recycle nearly 40% of their refuse, keeping it out of landfills and reducing pollution. Home car washing is another serious kind of pollution that can easily be eliminated.
