Dangerous Chemical-based Shampoo Products Banned in New York - Be Aware Car Wash Owners

We were talking to a potential client the other day who owns a car wash and has the ramp & tub-like system by either Kleen-Rite, Ginsan or the others and he informed me that he cannot offer the flea & tick option at his car wash in New York because the product was BANNED! People with coin-operated dog washes, especially you all in the car wash space, we encourage you to reevaluate your shampoo products - particularly those that are poisons and dangerous pesticides! Why take on the unnecessary liability??

If you do not know about the pet industry but are trying to offer pet related services, you better do your homework so it doesn't come back to bite you like it's doing for those in New York. The wrong 'chemical' shampoo products will equal lower dog wash revenue.

Our recommendation, Tropiclean shampoos. They are very well known throughout the pet industry, their products are natural and their flea and tick shampoo we offer in the K9000s contains Neem - a natural alternative to harmful pesticides. Plus Tropiclean's shampoos won't rinse away expensive flea treatments like Frontline, Advantage, etc. that most pet owners use regularly on their dogs.

We are sorry that folks are learning the hard way.
