Canberra Airport gets greener with waterless carwash
In keeping with Canberra International Airport's environmentally-friendly
values, Ecowash Mobile is now operating out of a fixed site at the Brindabella
Business Park.
Timothy Hallahan, who owns and manages the North East ACT and Queanbeyan
franchise of Ecowash Mobile, a waterless mobile car washing and detailing
service, has been operating every Thursday at the Brindabella Business Park
since last month and is now increasing the service to include Fridays as well.
"We are currently washing cars at the entrance of the new multi-storey carpark.
We also offer a pick-up and drop-off service to airport users who are not parked
in the centre," Tim said.
"I felt that the Canberra International Airport was a perfect site for Ecowash
Mobile as they have like us a commitment to reducing water consumption and the
associated impact on the environment," he said.
Tom Snow, Executive Director of the Canberra International Airport, said the
Airport is a leader in water reduction initiatives and has a dedicated campaign
to not only reduce water use across the Airport, but to also educate other water
users across the ACT and Australia in how to better use precious water
resources.
"We have already reduced water use to an absolute minimum across the Airport –
whether it is in our own use of water or the use of water by our operators and
tenants like Ecowash Mobile," said Tom.
"We have exceeded the highest hurdles and any current water standards or
requirements," he added.
To date, Ecowash Mobile has saved over 24 million litres of water since its
launch in 2004 as listed on its website www.ecowash.com.au.*
The Ecowash Mobile biodegradable 2-in-1 wash and polish compound is sprayed onto
the car exterior, encapsulates surface dirt that is then removed with a soft
cloth and provides a protective coating. The whole process is guaranteed not to
scratch.
The complete range of products enables a full detail inside and out including
leather treatment, bumper renovation and scratch removal. To ensure long lasting
protection of your car, Ecowash Mobile has also introduced new protection
options for paint, fabric and carpet or leather.
A variety of services are on offer, from a basic waterless wash and polish right
through to a full detail called an Extreme Ecowash, to suit individual car
owners, car dealers, smash repairers and corporate fleets.
