Using less water reduces cost

of your building

• Automated systems start as low as 2.5 gallonsper
minute, but can be more than 3,000 gallonsper minute

Less Soap
Using a metered amount ensures efficiency
• A soft touch system uses less soap, as the brushes/clothes
do the cleaning
• Today’s brush technology will not scratch – ask
your manufacturer
• Stop free pouring soap – go to a metered soap system.
The ROI is incredible
Using the proper combination is key
• More soap suds is not the correct method. It just costs
more water, effortand time to remove
• Dish soap is for dishes, car soap is for cars - Don’t try to
mix and match industries
