is bfwdcs safe for arborvites?

[carguy727]

I have some arborvites near where i wash my car and they get some run off...is bf wet diamond shampoo safe for them?

I would think you would be ok..Just maybe rinse your wash area clean and try and not get soap on your plants. Could always try this type of wash to be safe..

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine: clay lubricant, optimum rinseless wash, no rinse car wash, optimum detailing products

To me:
-The safeness of BFWDCS car wash shampoo, or any other car wash shampoo for that matter,
depends on its chemicals'-ability of breaking-down the contaminates that lay upon your vehicle's surface areas.
Of course...These contaminates will then be gently whisked away by a water source.

-Any of your car-wash sessions' effluents reaching the soil, where your arborvitae live, could possibly alter its ph.

-Do you know:
The proper ph recommended for the soil that your particular arborvitae are to be planted?
-Your arborvitae's current soil ph?

Also...Please keep in mind...
Besides car-washing sessions' run-off...

-The type of mulch used, if any.
-Airborn contaminates.
-Other waterborn contaminates

...Can also alter soil's ph.


OH...Less I forget...
Another arborvitae-hating contaminate: Cat urine!!
