New Eco Car Wash Splashes into Redwood City An innovative new car wash opens up on El Camino, giving customers not only a clean car,

but the satisfaction of saving the environment.

By Anna Dagum

The Bay Area has always been

known for its progressiveness, and

innovative new startups. Adding to

the myriad of environmentally-

friendly businesses popping up in

Redwood City this year is the new

Eco Green Auto Clean car wash.

Eco Green Auto Clean is an

environmentally friendly car wash

service established in 2012. Located

on El Camino Real, this innovative

car wash company provides services priced at $14.99 and up and cleans cars using a

technique that is less harsh on the environment than the average wash.

This hand-wash auto service has nine different formulas for cleaning the cars. These

formulas are unique in that they strip the dirt from the car, as opposed to just washing it

around with regular water. Once the dirt has been stripped, it is wiped away with a cloth, and

coated with a protective layer of silicone to give the car a freshly-waxed look.

“Eco Green Auto Clean wants everybody to be aware that conserving water is a serious

necessity,” said Founder Anton Van Happen. “Eco Green Auto Clean's services need to

meet the expectations of our customers for cleaning their cars without using synthetic

chemicals.”

Every year thousands of gallons of toxins such as oil, gasoline, and other chemicals are

carelessly dumped into sewers. These sewers are direct transports to the world’s water

supply and the pollution that this causes is detrimental to the environment.

“By using our Green Auto Wash, you are saving up to 50 gallons of water that would just go

to waste,” said Van Happen.

With record breaking droughts in many parts of the world, fresh drinking water is a precious

commodity.

“Eco Green Auto Clean is committed to take action and help against this cause,” said Van

Happen. “Fresh water is more importantly needed for drinking and keeping the environment

healthy. Eco Green Auto Clean wants to make sure that there is a future for our children,

with drinking water.”

The philosophy behind Eco Green Auto Clean is simple: Be open to new ideas, use products

that are free of harmful chemicals, and maintain the highest quality standards by ensuring

Eco Green Auto Clean's products are more effective than their traditional counterparts.

The atmosphere at the car wash is another innovative quality that the company offers.

“We’re trying to make it more exclusive. It should feel like a lounge,” said Van Happen. The

waiting lounge is already equipped with modern art, a comfy sitting area and suave lounge

music, and Van Happen plans on putting in a full bar (excluding alcoholic drinks, of course)

in the near future.

“When you start something these days, it’s going to be a lifestyle,” said Van Happen.

The ultimate goal of the Eco Green Auto Clean is to open physical locations in cities for

customers to try out the products, and eventually move to apartment complexes and office

buildings where patrons will pay a monthly fee to have their cars washed once a week.

Many disregard environmentally friendly products with the common misconception of the

quality being sub-par to regular merchandise. This, however, is not true.

“My car looks 10x better than when I take it to a normal car wash- shinier, and all the black

trim looks darker instead of bleached out,” said reviewer Jessie V. “I only did the exterior

today, but will definitely do the interior next time! Another plus was the price- only 19 dollars

for my SUV.”

So as the Bay Area strives to be greener, you can do your part to save water and prevent

the dumping of toxic chemicals into the sewers, and get your car washed at Eco Green Auto

Clean.
