Steam cleaning is the eco-friendly way to clean a car because it uses a fraction of the water of a traditional wash and needs no harsh chemical sprays. A hose-and-bucket wash can get through a large amount of water, much of it running into the drain carrying detergent with it. Steam cleans with heat instead, so a little water goes a long way and there is no chemical runoff. It is better for the environment and for your car. Our steam cleaning is built around this.
How much water a normal wash uses
A traditional hose wash uses a surprising amount of water, much of it flowing straight off the car and down the drain. Add the detergents and degreasers, and that runoff carries chemicals into the drainage system. For a single wash it seems minor, but across thousands of cars it adds up to a real environmental cost.
Why steam uses so little
Steam cleaning turns a small amount of water into pressurised steam, and the heat does the cleaning rather than volume of water. A full interior and exterior steam clean uses far less water than a conventional wash, because you are not rinsing litres of soapy water off the car. The water that is used is working hard, not running to waste.
No harsh chemicals
The cleaning power of steam comes from heat, not detergent, so it needs no aggressive chemical sprays to cut through grime. That means no chemical residue left on your car and nothing harmful washing into the ground. It is safer for surfaces, for the people cleaning, and for anyone, or any pets, using the car afterwards.
Self-contained and mess-free
Because steam cleaning uses so little water and no chemical runoff, it can be carried out cleanly anywhere, your driveway, an office car park, a depot, without flooding the area or leaving waste water behind. That is why it suits fleet and commercial cleaning as well as private cars, with no need to connect to your facilities.
Better for your car too
The eco benefits come with practical ones. Steam is gentler on paint, trim and fabric than scrubbing with chemicals, it sanitises as it cleans, and it dries far faster than wet shampooing. Cleaning greener does not mean compromising on results. We bring eco-friendly steam cleaning across Derby and the East Midlands.
