HOW Hot Water Washes Cleaner, Better, Faster

CHEMICAL REACTIONS SPEED UP WITH HOT WATER

• Hot water increases reaction rates speeding up the break down of foreign substances. Hot water excites the elements of soil, oils and dirt so they can be detached easier from vehicle surfaces giving customers a much more effective wash.
• Hot water increases dissolving abilities. Some greases and residues on your car’s surface have low melting points. Even without soap, some greases will dissolve in hot water.
• Hot water with soap: Hot water acts as a catalyst when coupled with cleaning chemicals and auto wash soap’s. Chemical reactions double in speed with every 10 degrees rise in temperature, substantially increasing the effectiveness to remove dirt and grime. Your customers are happier, your lines grow and profits increase.
• Do you live in a winter climate? Hot water is particularly important during winter periods to remove grime, road salt and ice that are the most destructive and corrosive components to vehicle bodies and chassis. During cold weather periods, customers are much more likely to frequent hot water car washes.
• The human element: Nobody takes a cold shower or relaxes in a tub with cold water. The tangible effects on your customers’ wash experience is just as important as providing quality service.
• Hot water soothes. Hot water keeps hands from freezing in cold weather and provides a quicker, more effective cleaning. You’ll increase customers with a pleasant, satisfying wash experience.
