Washing your car with water is so ’90s, at least according to Michael Glass, founder of Tri-Kleen, Milwaukee’s eco-friendly mobile hand car wash.
Glass launched his new business in early May as an interesting and innovative alternative to drive-through car washes, or, for that matter, hosing down your ride in the driveway. Glass’s car washing service is completely waterless.
Replacing commercial cleaners and water with specialized biodegradable, organic soaps made from coconut derivatives that are sprayed onto the vehicle from a small bottle and then wiped away with soft, micro-fiber towels eliminates the use of harsh cleaning chemicals as well as any potential runoff that collects in the sewer systems
Here’s how it works in technical terms. After wiping it away, Glass then follows it up with Montan wax, a long-lasting double wax protectant for your car.
When the vehicle is done, it’s dry. Rather than renting a building for a permanent car wash (something he’s looking to do in the future), Glass operates Tri-Kleen on a completely mobile level.
It doesn’t matter if you’re at work or lounging at home, as long as you’re within the Greater Milwaukee area, Tri-Kleen will show up with the gear and clean your vehicle. Glass says the company’s name is taken from the word “trike,” or tricycle.
He plans to utilize industrial-sized trikes on his house calls by this summer.
