Car washing by hand is not “Green” or safe to environment
September 6, 2009 8:36 pmCar washing by hand is not green. When I say by hand, I mean pulling out a bucket with water and a sponge versus going to the “Pay-n-spray” car wash.
So, there are three reasons why it is best to wash your car at a commercial car wash versus the soapy bucket at home. Each reason is a “green” reason.
1.) Washing your car at “home” uses more water. There have been several studies that show that much more water is used when washing the car at home because most people leave the hose running. Commercial car washes will filter and reuse the water several times before it is disposed. Also, commercial car washes use the Bernoulli principle to provide higher pressure using less water thus conserving water even if the water isn’t filtered and reused.
2.) Car wash soaps contain chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. Commercial car washes must contain traps to collect the soaps and waxes used to be properly disposed of and prevent them from being washed into the ecosystem. Unless you have installed such traps at your location, the dirty soap water is often flushed into the storm gutters and transferred to the creeks, rivers, lake, ponds, rivers, etc and can damage the ecology there.
3.) The road grime you are washing off can also contain chemicals. Now, to me, this one isn’t as important since these chemicals did come of the road anyway and with a good rain will be washed away into the streams, but it is still something worth considering. Again, a commercial car wash will collect these chemicals from the road grime so that they may be disposed of properly. This will help reduce the amount that is flushed into the streams with a good rainfall.
I cannot see how a company that does not use a commercial car wash or impliment a commercial car was system at their fleet facility can consider themselves “green” if they are stating that they are “Green.” Yes, there is more to being “Green” than just car washing, but it is still a factor that is relatively simple concept.
I still believe that being called a “green company” is just a gimmick and will pass with time…like El Nino and the Ozone Hole…and that going “green” is just this decade’s way for scientists to continue working in the academic arena.

10 ingredients of a good limo rental service
September 1, 2009 9:49 pmThe ingredients of a good limo rental service
Before you go all out, spending on a so called ‘reputed’ limo service, it is essential that you know what makes a good limo rental service in New York, a ‘good’ or ‘reputed’ NY limousine service. To cut a long story short, there are three basic features which one must look for in a limo rental service.
The first priority is obviously the type of car which is used – is it a recent model or is it outdated? Is the limousine fully fitted with only the basic amenities or are there other attractive luxuries on board? The overall maintenance of the limo is significant and must be top notch.
The second key feature is the driver behind the wheel. The driver plays an important role in the overall experience of hiring an NY limo rental service. Does the driver know all the possible routes and is he capable enough to steer away from traffic congestions? Personal qualities of the chauffeurs also play an important part in communications with the clients. Qualities such as politeness and punctuality for example help in keeping the passengers at comfort which speaks volumes about a particular limo rental service. Limo services these days work really hard to ensure that their crew is polished and maintain the highest standards in any aspect.
The third feature, which though not as important, does have some value – does the company offer any extra value added features such as free rides, free services or seasonal discounts? What does the company offer which no other rental service offer, making it unique?
Eventually, a limo rental service will also depend on your budget. The more you are willing to spend on a limo, the better and more luxurious will be your experience.
However, certain limo rentals offers the same services as others at comparatively lesser rates and these are deals which you must not wish. Renting a limo adds dollops of fun to a boring wedding or the usual Prom night. Renting limos makes a party more appealing than one without one. Just imagine taking your Prom date for a ride in a limo for a night or your beloved wife after a wedding. Money cannot buy love, but it can definitely help in increasing fun and romance in a relationship.
