Headed outdoors to wash your car? A commercial car wash is better for the environment, but isn’t nearly as fun. If the first car wash of Spring just has to be a home job, try pulling up onto your lawn while you squirt, scrub and squeegee. Washing on the lawn ensures that all of the chemicals and nasty bits accumulated on your car will run onto the lawn and be absorbed by the grass, instead of into the street and down to our waterways. The soil and grass can filter out the bad stuff, but your driveway can’t. Washing your car can be sexy, especially if it’s on the lawn.
