Today, increasing regulations and environmental restrictions point to a future where both water consumption and product ingredients must be taken into account. At the same time, fleet managers must have product effectiveness as well as labor and cost efficiencies.

"Waterless" car wash technology satisfies those needs.

Tri-Kleen has an innovative service line for kleening and polishing your fleet vehicles with minimal water consumption.  Tri-Kleen has been challenging the old line auto care products industry and raising the bar by formulating detailing services that are not only safe for the environment but are also highly effective.

The average amount of water used to wash a vehicle using a low-flow nozzle is 20 gallons.*  With just a 5 vehicle fleet, averaging a few washes a month, this amounts to over 1,000 gallons of grey water and approximately 2.5 lbs* of solid wastes annually leaching into our waterways. Every Tri-Kleen service eliminates the discharge of untreated contaminants and conserves water.  The highly effective and biodegradable products that we use never get into our sewers; therefore never have the chance to make their way to the local streams, rivers or lakes.

Commercial Fleet Managers - Why should you use Tri-Kleen mobile wash services?

To answer that question, I have to ask more questions...

1.  How much does it cost to clean one vehicle?
2.  How many vehicles do you have?
3.  How often do you have them cleaned per week/month?
4.  What is the hourly wage of the person facilitating the cleaning?

Example Scenario: John's Plumbing Company has 10 vans that need cleaned once a week to keep a sharp image to the public. Joe the plumber is tasked to clean his service van.  He is usually gone for at least an hour per week at the car wash. Joe the plumber bills customers over $100 per hour when on a service call. The car wash cost $10 and he uses $5.00 worth of gasoline getting there and back. This adds up to $115 per week, per vehicle. That's over $1000 per week or $4000 per month in lost revenue.

We can help save much of this lost revenue.  How?  By "kleening" instead of "cleaning"!

1. Vehicles can be kleened in place or inside of a warehouse during none business hours, eliminating the need to travel anywhere or lost vehicle downtime.
2. Most average sized vehicles can be kleened in 30 minutes, especially if it is the 2nd or 3rd kleening.  The more the vehicle is kleened the more protected and slippery the surface becomes, therefore making the process easier every time.  Touch ups are easy as well!
3.  The more protected and slippery the surface is, the longer it takes to become dirty.  It can go 2 or more weeks between kleenings or be quickly touched up if needed.  This can cut down the need of the vehicles to be kleened by one half or even three quarters.
4.  The results will be better financial savings, better looking vehicles, more convenience to where/when/how they are kleened and the little to no impact on the environment can pay dividends on your company image!
