STROUDSBURG, Penn. — People dread the winter, and the snow and salt that come with it, but carwashes benefit from it, according to the Popcono Record.

STROUDSBURG, Penn. — The carwash business has been doing really well this year in the area, and a main reason why is wash customers cleaning their vehicle’s undercarriage, according to the Popcono Record

George Kaizer, manager of Sparkle Car Wash, said the salt is damaging to vehicles. “It rots the underneath off. It’s just horrible.”

He also cautions people who are cleaning snow off of their vehicle to be careful and use proper measures. He said people need to use brushes instead of snow scrapers or shovels, which can do damage.

Business has been good for his wash, but they have needed to purchase extra heaters to keep the tunnel warm during business hours.
