Six eco-friendly car cleaning products
In recent times, more people have become aware of the impact that their actions have on the environment, particularly in the realm of cleaning products.With traditional car cleaning products often containing harsh chemicals and contributing to pollution in waterways, many consumers are now looking for eco-friendly alternatives that are both effective and sustainable. In this article, we'll introduce you to six eco-friendly car cleaning products that are both good for the environment and your vehicle.
Solvables Glass Cleaner, Interior Cleaner and Wheel Cleaner
Solvables is a new Australian-made environmentally friendly cleaning product range for glass, car interiors and wheels with a super-strength, non-toxic and pH-neutral formula that also uses less water. Simply fill the bottle with water, drop in a cleaning tablet made with biodegradable detergents and contains plant and mineral-based ingredients, make some fizz and you’re ready to clean.
A single dose from a cleaning tablet is needed for every 500ml of water. The sachets that the tablets are in can even be put in your green waste bin.
Glass Cleaner, Interior Cleaner and Wheel Cleaner starter packs contain a 500ml reusable cleaning bottle, 4 tablet refills and a microfibre cloth and cost $24.99. Tablet refill packs cost $19.99.
ENJO Car Glove
The ENJO Car Glove can be used to clean the interior and exterior of your car without the use of chemicals, just add water. The ENJO Car Glove is made up of super-fine fibres that are 100x finer than a single human hair. The fibres work to loosen and lift heavy-duty dirt from smooth surfaces without scratching your paintwork.
ENJO cleaning gloves are designed to be washable and reusable and if you care for your Car Gloves, they will effectively clean your car for approximately 3 years. The ENJO Car Glove costs $66.
Waterless WOSH & Wax
WOSH was started by father and son duo, Rocky and Matt who have been in the cleaning product manufacturing game for over 30 years. Their concept of waterless car cleaning products came as a no-brainer to them as environmental impacts due to excessive water usage became a bigger issue. On average, conventional car cleaning methods are said to waste up to 100 litres of water every wash.
Waterless WOSH & Wax is a scientifically formulated cleaning product that safely lifts and removes dust, dirt and other nasties from the surface of your car while the Carnauba Wax seals and protects, leaving a showroom shine. Just spray on, leave for 10-20 seconds then wipe the area with the WOSH Cloth drawing dirt away. Waterless WOSH & Wax costs $29.95.
Bowden’s Orange Agent multi-purpose car cleaner
Bowden’s Orange Agent multi-purpose car cleaner has a pH-neutral, non-corrosive, water-based formula, with a citrus-based cleaning agent (hence the orange name) that is biodegradable and eco-friendly. It can be used to clean anything from car interiors, including vinyl and leather, wheels, tyres, plastic trims and even your engine bay.
Its pH-neutral formula is unique as most all-purpose cleansers have a high alkaline level and can affect delicate surfaces. Orange Agent is said to rapidly dissolve oil, grease and heavy grime and penetrate built-up residue while being safe on paint, metal, alloy and most plastics. Bowden’s Orange Agent multi-purpose car cleaner costs $15.99.
