Following this good practice guidance doesn’t remove your responsibility to comply with the law and prevent pollution from your activities. Causing or allowing pollution is a criminal offence; compliance with this or any guidance isn’t a defence.

This guidance covers vehicle washing and cleaning by all methods, including:
• automatic wash systems
• washing by hand
• using high pressure or steam cleaners at all sites including:
• retail premises
• business and industrial premises
• public and private car parks
• former petrol filling stations
You can contact Morclean if you need further advice. Following this guidance will help you plan and deal with liquid and solid waste, reduce the risk of causing pollution, and, by using water wisely, could save you money.

This guidance also applies to washing and cleaning plant, machinery, equipment and boats as the principles are generally the same. It doesn’t cover household activities but the EA's good practice advice would be to use a commercial facility (car wash) that re-uses water, or hand wash with a bucketful of water and a sponge without using detergent, traffic film removers, degreasants or other proprietary cleaners. The EA discourage the use of hose-pipes or high pressure cleaners for car washing at home.
