Washing buses and coaches: 10 steps to save water

If you have buses, minibuses or coach, In this article you will find 10 Simple recommendations that will make your company save a lot of water in washing your vehicles.

The water, In addition to being an essential element for life, It is also to clean a bus or a coach. However, If you wash your vehicles with little criteria and without the right tools, You will be waste this scarce and wasting time and money.

Remember: If it's good for your company, It will be even better for you.

In my more than 20 Years of experience in the sector, I have had the opportunity to visit large and small businesses of bus and coaches, and, From what I have observed in them, I have created a decalogue to help you save water in washing your vehicles.


Take note:

  1. 1
    Avoid cleaning an entire bus by hand. It has been shown that with this procedure hundreds of liters of water, a lot of time is lost and the environment is damaged. And let's not talk about the physical effort that requires and its consequences: fatigue, Labor casualties, fines, lack of motivation in the template, etc..
  2. 2
    Avoid clarifying a bus with the water hose. The use of the hose is not recommended for washing or for the clarified. If you did, You would be making a serious mistake for the same reasons of the previous point.
  3. 3
    Have everything at hand in the washing area. Both water intake and cleaning instruments must be at hand and under control. This way you will save unnecessary trips and waste of time by having to go looking for what you need at all times.
  4. 4
    Use the right tool to stop wasting water. The use of the independent monobrush, either electric or autonomous, it is an invaluable help. The JMB single-brush is the only tool on the market that manages to wash a vehicle in 2 minutes with just 45 liters of water.
  5. 5
    Develop a step-by-step cleaning process. Before moving on to the JMB single brush, it is convenient to clean those parts that the machine does not reach, such as wheels or hard-to-reach corners. This task should not take more than 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    The washing area must always be clean and uncluttered.. Think about the possible accidents that you can cause if there are objects on the floor or if it is stained with grease, For example.
  7. 7
    If you are a fan of soap, please, always use phosphate-free detergents that are biodegradable and that take care of the bodywork of your vehicle. Always ask for the technical and safety data sheet of the product. Think that the use of inappropriate soap can damage the paint of your vehicle and the environment. Despite this, my advice is to wash your bus or coach without soap.
  8. 8
    In summer or when the weather is good, if you use soap, prevents it from drying out during the cleaning process. If you wash outside and the sun is very strong, don't use soap; if you consider it essential, wash and rinse half the vehicle first and, then, the other half.
  9. 9
    Use a non-foaming soap. More foam is not going to make the bus cleaner, Well, this will depend on the properties of your soap and the dirt, not the foam.If you use a very concentrated soap or if you do not have the correct mixture indicated by the manufacturer, the only thing you will do is create an excess of foam that will be difficult to remove later. And this translates into a waste of water, of time and in more waste for the environment.
  10. 10
    set somedefined quality standards and processes in relation to SAFETY, the ENVIRONMENT and QUALITY.

Begin as soon as possible to put into practice the advice of this decalogue, They will allow you to save a lot of water, time and money. If you like, You can print it and pass it to all those in charge of washing vehicles in your company.
