The grease trap and oil water separator must be connected to the sanitary sewer. That said it would be prohibitive cost-wise to put one in I suspect as you are thinking of a simple hand wash. Therefore, find a building that all ready has one. Old quick oil change/Lube bldg, a closed...

You did not answer the question which was YOUR BUDGET for this hand wash operation? Do you have a location? Is it zoned for a car wash? You need to apply for a permit before doing anything else. No permit, no hand car wash. Do you have the money or the financing to develop the hand car wash...

The first question is where do you live? Some states, some municipalaties require them so it is a mute question. In other situations it is the cost of sewer connection. In Portland, Oregon I paid $11,000 fee for the sewer connection the same connection in California or Florida could run as...

If I were you I would check the SONNY'S prices for a conveyor. Had a 100' SONNY'S conveyor in my exterior wash with no problems.

If you do not use the extractor you leave chemical and oily soil residue in the carpets. Used properly the carpets are not left more than slightly damp. Without an extractor your cleaning will quickly recoil when the chemical residue dries.

85% of the soil in carpets is dry and 15% is oily soil on the fibers. Therefore you need a thorough vacuuming to remove the oily soil. Then a light spray of carpet shampoo to emulsify the oily soil on the fibers. Friction scrub with a hand brush or rotary SHAMPOOER and then extract. Foam...

The ultra violet light is a good suggestion to locate the urine but you then have to get it out. You don't know if it penetrated the carpet and got into the backing. If it is the you have to remove carpeting and eliminate the odor there to. You do have to eliminate the smell by neutralizing...
