The rainy season is upon us and for those of us living in the Delta areas of the Central Valley in California we should be paying particular attention to some of our car-cleanliness habits. Often the mud and grime of a rainy road isn’t really “stuck” on our vehicles and it’s a real easy thing to just take the hose and flush it off.
However, I noticed some folks today cleaning their cars in the cool but sunny afternoon. The “goop” products they were using are chemical compounds designed to remove the “gunk” that builds up in wheel wells and side panels. If you number yourself among those that need to “keep it clean” please read the label and make sure the products you are using are bio-degradable and water supply safe.
Please remember that those drains that are only a few feet from where you are working … lead directly to the Delta water ways. If you need to do some chemical cleaning on your car, please use professional sites that have recycling resources … and keep our water clean!
Living and working in Lodi, California – the real estate we buy and sell are all directly or indirectly linked to our Delta Waterways … The recreational quality and usefulness of the wetlands … can only be protected by people like us …. Please wash with care!
