With South Africa facing a critical water crisis, it’s time to switch to Green Machine waterless car wash. This innovative, eco-friendly car wash in South Africa uses a sustainable approach to vehicle cleaning, saving millions of litres of precious water every year.
The Green Machine: Waterless and Environmentally Friendly
The Green Machine (previously known as CMH Green Machine) is a waterless car wash system launched in 2011 by First Car Rental's holding company, Combined Motor Holdings Limited (CMH). Designed to provide an eco-conscious alternative to traditional car washes, this system uses an all-natural, water-soluble wax instead of water, completing a full wash, wax, and polish in under 25 minutes. This initiative reflects First Car Rental’s green initiatives and commitment to sustainable practices.
Over 80 eco-friendly bays across South Africa now use Green Machine waterless car wash technology, saving an astounding 110 million litres of drinkable water annually.
Benefits of the Green Machine
100% Environmentally-Friendly: Uses less than 1 litre of water per wash (only to clean the cloths), compared to traditional hosepipe washes that consume around 200 litres per vehicle.
Natural Cleaning Wax: The biodegradable wax is derived from the Carnuba Palm tree, offering a shiny, protective finish without harming the environment or vehicle paint.
Comprehensive Wash in Under 25 Minutes: Each wash includes rims, tyres, and UV protection, leaving vehicles with a high-quality shine.
Zero Toxic Runoff: The wax is completely water-soluble, ensuring no pollution or harmful chemicals enter local waterways.
Empowering Entrepreneurs through Green Machine
As part of First Car Rental’s green initiatives and commitment to empowering local communities, the Green Machine can be leased to entrepreneurs as a turnkey business solution. Each lease includes training, a business model, uniforms, and all necessary equipment, making it ideal for eco-minded individuals looking to operate in places like dealerships, office parks, residential complexes, car parks, petrol stations, and hotels.
Switching to Green Machine waterless car wash not only helps protect South Africa’s water resources but also supports sustainable entrepreneurship and eco-friendly car wash solutions that align with global environmental standards.
