Free ecowashes around the world helps save on World Water Day
Australian waterless carwash ecowash mobile is doing its part for World Water Day by offering the general public free waterless carwashes across the country and internationally throughout the day on March 22.
The only Australian company to be classified as staging a global event on the day, and one of only five events listed under this guideline worldwide, the event will take place as part of international celebrations aimed at creating more awareness about the need for concerted water conservation initiatives.
ecowash mobile franchisees across Australia and around the world will offer free ecowashes (waterless car wash & polish) on March 22 to conincide with this international event.
ecowash mobile is a worldwide success story, having branched into nine countries, including the United States, Europe and the Middle East, since it started as a two car operation in 2004. It is estimated to have saved more than 30 million litres of water in Australia alone since its inception. The free ecowashes will be held in capital cities and regional centres, as well as ecowash mobile locations around the world.
The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro.
“With water restrictions enforced around the country in recent times, and water shortages around the world, it is a great day for reminding us to think more about protecting such a vital resource,” said master franchisee Paul McIlvride from ecowash mobile Adelaide.
“We're very happy to have such an obvious presence on a day like this and look forward to playing our part for the environment. And I'm sure there will be no complaints from Adelaide's car owners.”

But what chemical (or polymer) are they using? Is it biodegradeable and safe for the environment? I guess I'm hoping they can post something here to reassure …
