Here's why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More effective cleaning&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roller washing is the method preferred by most drivers. Fast and effective, this cleaning method makes your vehicle\u2019s body shine effortlessly in just a few minutes. Today, most car washes use rollers made of soft materials that trap dirt without scratching. This should reassure users who worry that the rollers might damage their car\u2019s body. Be sure to check with the car wash to confirm that it\u2019s equipped with next-generation rollers, just like at our Bestwash car wash centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Less Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, washing your car at a roll-through car wash uses 170 liters of water. Washing your car at home uses an average of 300 liters of water\u2014almost twice as much as a roll-through car wash! During droughts, washing your car at home is prohibited because it uses too much water. However, washing at a car wash is allowed thanks to water recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wastewater Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important issue after water consumption is soil pollution. When you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wash-totalenergies.fr\/nos-conseils\/laver-voiture-domicile-erreurs-eviter\/\">Wash your car at home<\/a>, the water used to clean the vehicle seeps into the ground and can contaminate the groundwater. Be sure to use natural, non-polluting products if you choose to wash your car at home. At car washes, wastewater is treated and recycled up to 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is pre-washing essential when washing a car?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-washing is very important, whether you\u2019re washing by hand, in a car wash bay, or at a car wash. You should always start by removing dirt with plenty of water or a pressure washer. This prevents the wash brushes from rubbing particles or dust into the paint and causing scratches. Caution: If you wash your car yourself, you risk scratching it, because at home, people generally use too little water for the pre-wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experts consider car wash tunnels to be better than car wash arches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bestwash is the leader in Luxembourg in the car wash tunnel market. According to experts such as the ADAC and T\u00dcV, car wash tunnels are generally superior to gantry-style car washes. A previous test of car washes conducted by the ADAC revealed that, in principle, car wash tunnels should be preferred for washing cars.\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, car washes let you combine environmental friendliness, time savings, and a clean vehicle. Now that you know how car washes work, all that\u2019s left to do is give it a try! &nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les installations de lavage pour voitures sont plus respectueuses de l&rsquo;environnement et vous permettent de faire de r\u00e9elles \u00e9conomies.
