Green Clean Your Car, RV or Boat
We all grew up watching our father's pour liquid dish soap into a bucket to wash the car, boat or RV. Father may know best but not when it comes to using a soap that is killing marine life.
Most liquid dish soaps contain phosphorus that prevents a healthy marine environment resulting in an over abundance of algae. This is an oversimplification but gives you the general idea that marine life cannot survive when we dump toxic chemicals into our streams. The entire eco- system of a stream or river is disrupted and finally chocked to death.
All you need is half a cup of food grade distilled white vinegar in your bucket of wash water to clean your vehicle. Not only do you keep toxic chemicals out of the streams and rivers but you use far less water since your vehicle does not need to be rinsed.
For those of you in drought areas like California, keep a plastic bucket in your shower and fill it as the water heats for your morning shower.
If your vehicle needs a light cleaning consider using Advantage, a waterless wash and protectant. It cleans and leaves a show stopping shine on your vehicle in one easy step. A few applications of Advantage and all you need to wash your vehicle is water.
