You Could Be Losing Customers and Money
by NOT Operating a Hot Water Car Wash
Many car wash owners opt to run their facilities with cold wash water in an attempt to save money on operating expenses and/or to reduce or eliminate gas costs. However, you could be at a major disadvantage with a cold water facility. Hot water is the key to providing customers with a quality wash and satisfied experience. We all know hot water cleans better. Why not outfit or retrofit your car wash facility with a high efficiency system to deliver a high value hot water car wash?
INCREASE CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE
- 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. Cleaning agents react better with hot water substantially increasing the effectiveness to remove dirt and road grime. Hot water makes it easier for wash soap to surround, penetrate and detach dirt particles.
- 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 affects 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.
