Temperature & Your Wash Results – What you Need to Know 

The 5 Factors – Time, Temperature, Chemistry, Mechanical Action, and Water Quality – work together to deliver consistent cleaning performance.  But, when one factor, like Temperature, decreases, others must compensate to keep your carwash results consistent.

Here’s how you can adjust:

1. Increase Dwell Time – allow cleaning agents more time to work on the surface [Ver-tech Fact: In lower temperatures, a longer dwell time may be necessary to achieve the same level of activity]
2. Optimize Chemistry – utilize Ver-tech chemistry at recommended levels to perform in colder conditions [Ver-tech Fact: Titration ensures you are cleaning and the right concentration for your wash]
3. Enhance Mechanical Action – adjust your equipment to provide additional agitation where needed [Ver-tech Fact: friction cleaning includes cloths or brushes, for touchless cleaning additional water volume or pressure may be added]
4. Check Water Quality – ensure you are working with soft water for optimal cleaning.  Test your grains per gallon (GPG) regularly to understand your water type and adjust processes if needed  [Ver-tech Fact:  For every 4 grains of hardness, you will need 5-10% more product to clean at the same level]
