Carwashes become one-stop shop for deep cleaning household items
Carwashes become one-stop shop for deep cleaning household items
2026-07-15
Are carwashes only for vehicles? Not necessarily! Many people have started thinking out of the box by bringing household items like window screens, floor mats, fans, and even tents and pet carriers in need of a clean to carwashes. No need to scrounge for space at home or buy specialty cleaning equipment. These places have everything you need to get everything squeaky clean.

Of course, it’s common to see cars and scooters at a self-service carwash. But have you ever thought of bringing window screens, fans, or an AC filter?
Fans accumulate thick layers of dust over time, but they’re a pain to dismantle and clean. But here, one blast from the air gun, and it’s like new within 10 seconds.
Voice of Mr. Chang
Carwash manager
I often see people washing floor mats here. They come out clean and it’s convenient. What’s less common is that during spring cleaning, people will bring boxes, chairs, and other furniture to power wash.
Bikes caked in mud from trail rides, dirty floor mats, hard-to-clean pet carriers and baby strollers, even muddy camping tents can be brought to a self-service carwash to clean. At this point, nothing is that surprising.

Amazed at versatility
I’ve never tried it before. Most people love their cars and come here to wash them. I’ve never seen a sofa or something like that. That would be pretty impressive. Just hauling it over is a feat.
With high-pressure and low-pressure water guns, suds, and air dryers, carwashes come equipped with all the cleaning equipment you need, saving people from buying tons of speciality tools and finding the space for it all at home. Coming here saves on both time and effort.
Voice of Mr. Chang
Carwash manager
Generally speaking, as long as people don’t break the equipment or ruin the space, we don’t mind what they do, since they’re just coming here to clean. We also have a license plate recognition system, and from what we’ve seen, all our customers are very rule-abiding and respectful of each other.
Carwashes are no longer just for vehicles. With a little out-of-the-box thinking, they’ve become a godsend for anyone looking to give their things a deep clean.

自助洗車場變清潔場? 紗窗.電扇全一次清潔到位
2026-07-15
到自助洗車場，一定只有洗車嗎？那可不一定，就有很多民眾突破傳統思維，把家裡髒兮兮的紗窗、地墊，電風扇、甚至露營帳篷、寵物推車，通通跟著車子，一起到自助洗車場弄乾淨，不用在家找空位整理，也不用另外買清潔器具，全套設備應有盡有，一次清潔到位。
[[民視記者 張喬羿]]
“大家來到自助洗車場幾乎都是洗車、洗機車，不過你有想過嗎?其實這些紗窗、電風扇、冷氣濾網，全部都能洗。”
電扇、循環扇，使用久了扇葉卡灰塵，難拆又不好洗，這時候，風槍一吹，不用10秒，一乾二淨。

“常看客人拿地墊來洗，洗完乾乾淨淨很方便。比較特別的是，大掃除的時候，有人會把家裡的箱子、椅子，一些家具拿來沖洗。”
跑山沾到泥垢的自行車、踩到骯髒的地墊，甚至難清難洗的寵物車、嬰兒推車、就連常沾滿泥土的露營帳篷，都能搬自助洗車場，什麼都可以洗，什麼都不稀奇。
[[民眾]]
“沒有嘗試過，大部分大家其實都是愛車，來洗車比較多，沒有看過搬沙發(家具)之類的，我覺得那還蠻厲害的，可以搬過來就蠻厲害的了。”
高壓、低壓水槍、泡沫、再到最後一步風乾，自助洗車場有全套設備，讓民眾不用購買大量清潔用品，或是像在家一樣，需要騰出空間，利用自助洗車場的場地、設施，清潔能一次完工，省時又省力。
[[聲源: 自助洗車場管理員 張先生]]
“整體來說客人只要東西，不會損壞機器，不會破壞環境，其實我們都還蠻開放的，因為來這邊的客人，都是為了把東西洗乾淨。而且我們場內有車牌辨識系，目前看下來大多數客人，其實都很自律也很互相尊重。”
自助洗車場，不再只能洗車，靈機一動，創意一轉，另類洗家具，意外成為居家清潔好幫手。
