Gary &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Montecuollo&lt;/span&gt;. “It is still an open case. We regularly discuss the facts of the case with other law enforcement agencies and review other traffic collisions and information.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;!--&lt;div id="instory"&gt;[adsys_ad::instory]&lt;/div&gt;--&gt;     &lt;span&gt;At Saturday’s fundraising event, students also passed out fliers with information about the January accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They said they hoped the event could raise awareness about the accident to help develop new leads for the police investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’re trying to let the community know about what happened,” said junior Kevin Park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, Lee’s oldest daughter, Suzie, a senior at the high school, said she and her family have been amazed by the outpouring of community support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I feel really blessed to have such great friends and classmates,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;carwash&lt;/span&gt; was organized by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Crescenta&lt;/span&gt; Valley sophomore Peter Lee, who said he wanted to do all he could to help his friend and her family during a time of tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“She’s like a sister to me,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, more than $8,000 has been raised for the family entirely through donations, and Lee said he hoped to raise another $2,000 at the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;carwash&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to adhere to the area’s water conservation restrictions, the students teamed with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Crescenta&lt;/span&gt; Valley Water District to host a “waterless” &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;carwash&lt;/span&gt; that used a nonhazardous chemical to clean the cars. The district donated enough of the spray to wash 500 cars, Peter Lee said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, students sprayed the chemical on cars, and wiped them down with rags Saturday, dancing to music as they worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freshman &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Sevag&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;Alexanian&lt;/span&gt; said he &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;doesn&lt;/span&gt;’t know Suzie Lee well, but he still came out early Saturday morning to do anything he could to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’re all here to make our contributions and help out,” he said. “Our hearts go out to the family.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone with information on the January incident is asked to contact the Glendale Police Department.

Manufacturers typically opt for the synthetic version of a chemical because it is far less expensive than their natural counterpart. Essential oils are a much better alternative than synthetics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Synthetic dyes/colorants&lt;/span&gt; - change the appearance of a formula so it is more pleasing for the consumer. The majority of dyes derive from coal tars or petroleum. Coal tar contains various toxins and carcinogens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Teflons, Fluropolymers &lt;/span&gt; - used by car care manufacturers as a gloss/protective agent for car surfaces. Traditionally found in quick detailers, car waxes and car wash products. During the production of teflons and fluropolymers, a hazardous chemical known as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is used. PFOA is a toxicant and carcinogen in animals. In people, it has been linked to birth defects, increased cancer rates and changes to the immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kerosene&lt;/span&gt; - a synthetic distillate which is used as a grease cutter. Kerosene can damage lung tissues and dissolve the fatty tissue that surrounds nerve cells. Found in all purpose cleaners and degreasers.&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt; [1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Methanol&lt;/span&gt; - a solvent derived from wood and petroleum. It is acutely toxic and can cause blindness. Found in window cleaners and windshield wash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sodium Hydroxide (lye, caustic soda, white caustic, soda lye)&lt;/span&gt; - extremely strong caustic substance that damages skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Blindness is reported in animals exposed to as little as 2% dilution for just one minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ammonia&lt;/span&gt; - a corrosive substance which causes burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract and can result in blindness, lung damage or death. Boosts the nitrogen levels in soil and water which adversely affect marine and animal life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Phosphates &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;- phosphorus occurs naturally in rock formations in the earth's crust, usually as phosphate. They are of high nutritive value to plants and animals at normal levels in the environment. However, phosphates are also used as detergent builders in some c&lt;/span&gt;ar care products, which causes aquatic plant life to flourish, thus decreasing oxygen levels for other organisms. Found in car wash soaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Polyvinyl Chloride&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(PVC)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Pol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;yvinyl Chloride is recognized by the recycling symbol #3. PVC is highly toxic because during its production, it is mixed with softening chemicals known as plasticizers, the most common variety being phalates. Exposure to PVC and plasticizers have been linked to an increased risk of the following: hormonal imbalance, reproductive problems, allergies in children, brain cancer and tumors. PVC is used in packaging for several major car care manufacturers. The sensible alternative would be to switch to #1 PET or #2 HDPE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to avoid the ingredients listed above?

My personal preference is to use towels with a minimum weight of 300 GSM (grams per square meter). Either look on the tag or ask the manufacturer for the weight of the towels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, when wiping the &lt;a href="http://www.ecotouch.net"&gt;Waterless Car Wash formula&lt;/a&gt; from the surface of the vehicle, use light strokes to pick up dirt. There is no need to aggressively rub the formula on the car's surface. I typically take the approach of "wipe and lift" so that the contaminants are not dragging on the surface of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, use common sense. If you are dealing with a surface that is muddy or sandy, you will obviously need a pre-rinse. Many people will argue that a pre-rinse defeats the purpose of a "waterless" car wash. Not in my opinion. With any method of washing your vehicle, whether it's waterless, rinseless or a hose and bucket...you'll need to somehow removes those heavy contaminants before cleaning the car. Otherwise you will definately run into problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Myth #2: It's not really "waterless", you have to clean the microfiber towels in water. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To tackle this myth, we need to first clarify what "waterless" means. When people first hear the term they automatically think it means using absolutely no water at all. While this would be nice, it's not realistic. In my personal opinion, it means using significantly LESS water than the other methods available to consumers. What are those methods? See Myth #5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, you will need to clean the microfiber towels. The towels can easily be washed by letting them soak in a 1-gallon bucket of hot water with a little dish detergent. If you have a bunch of towels, save them all up and do one full load versus cleaning individually. There is also the misconception people have that the towels are disposed of after one use. Not true. The average microfiber towel can be wash and re-used up to 50 times. Considering that the average person cleans their cars once ever two weeks, the towels will last you for about two years before disposal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to truly be "waterless" then perhaps you should not clean your car at all. But, for most of us who want to keep our vehicles looking nice and increase their longevity, a Waterless Car Wash is a great option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myth #3: A quick Detailing product and &lt;a href="http://www.ecotouch.net/"&gt;Waterless Car Wash product&lt;/a&gt; are the exact same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I can't speak for all brands on this point, but will do my best to address this myth. Typically Waterless Car Wash products have greater cleaning power than quick detailers. Waterless car wash products combine surfactants, lubricants and pH builders to help break down surface grime more effectively. Quick detailers on the other hand are primarily used to add an instant shine/gloss to a car's paint and are not specifically engineered for cleaning purposes. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myth #4: All Waterless Car Wash products are the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Not quite. There are actually many differences between the various waterless car wash products out there. Here are some questions to ask when viewing the vast array of products:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Water-based or petroleum-distillate based formula?&lt;br /&gt;• Full ingredient disclosure on packaging and all CAS numbers on MSDS sheets?&lt;br /&gt;• Does formula contain protective agents (e.g. silicone emulsion, carnauba wax, teflon, PEG, etc)&lt;br /&gt;• Is there isopropyl alcohol used in the formula?&lt;br /&gt;• Are bottles and sprayers 100% recyclable?&lt;br /&gt;• Can the formula be used on both paint &amp;amp; windows?&lt;br /&gt;• Is the product a private-label brand?&lt;br /&gt;• Is the product made in the USA?&lt;br /&gt;• Are there fragrances or dyes? Are they synthetic or natural?&lt;br /&gt;• Aerosol or pump sprayer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you need any help answering the questions above, shoot me an email jdudra[at]ecotouch[dot]net and I will do my best to answer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately in the end it will come down to trying different products and finding the one which suits your needs best.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myth #5: Using a Waterless Car Wash product doesn't really help the environment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The best method of analysis is to compare Waterless Car Washing to the other options available on the market today for consumers. &lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Environmental impact by method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hose and bucket wash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Production and transportation of chemicals -&gt; distributor -&gt; retail store -&gt; consumer&lt;br /&gt;80 - 140 gallons of water per wash (data from the International Car Wash Association)&lt;br /&gt;Discharge of soapy suds, brake dust and car oils into environment&lt;br /&gt;Water sanitation costs and energy&lt;br /&gt;Disposal of packaging&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Commercial car wash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Production and transportation of chemicals -&gt; distributor -&gt; car wash facility &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disposal of packaging (drums)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;45 gallons of water per wash&lt;br /&gt;Energy required to run equipment and reclaim water&lt;br /&gt;Fixed sites impact on the land&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Waterless car wash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Production and transportation of chemicals -&gt; distributor -&gt; retail store -&gt; consumer&lt;br /&gt;4 - 6 oz of waterless car wash formula used per car&lt;br /&gt;Disposal of packaging&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comparing the three most common methods available to consumers today, Waterless Car Washing has the least environmental impact. The savings in water, energy and chemicals is only compounded as you think of the millions of cars being washed on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the future, it would be great to do a full product life cycle analysis on the Waterless Car Wash method and find what our true net impact is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Have any other myths you think exist for Waterless Car Wash products?

Water restrictions, stricter EPA regulations and the limitations of having a water hookup nearby have all but ended this traditional fundraising method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter the era of Waterless Car Wash Fundraisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armed with a 22 oz bottle and several microfiber towels your non-profit, charity or school can easily raise money for its cause without infringing upon the environment or relying upon a commercial carwash facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the past month, Eco Touch has sponsored several of these Waterless Car Wash Fundraisers, with great results. If you are considering holding one of these events, we have put together a top tip list to help get you started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tip #1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Advertise, advertise, advertise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posters, flyers and press releases are a great way to get the word out. Begin your campaign at least a week in advance by coordinating with local newspapers and media outlets. Offer coupons, discounts or other incentives to help draw people to your event. On the day of the event strategically place team members roadside to bring more customers to the waterless car wash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGvGGyd-uI/AAAAAAAAAD0/rS_VB3R8n_w/s1600-h/car+wash+6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGvGGyd-uI/AAAAAAAAAD0/rS_VB3R8n_w/s320/car+wash+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332735953219746530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tip #2 - Assemble your team&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both kids and adults will need to participate in order to make your fundraising event a success. We recommend having three teams: sales/marketing (pitching your services to customers), washing/drying (physical labor), and support (cash transactions, food, etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also note than some areas of the car are difficult for smaller children to reach, so have taller team members focus on these areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGwVt_JEyI/AAAAAAAAAEE/Ch0T34uxL_c/s1600-h/car+wash+7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 191px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGwVt_JEyI/AAAAAAAAAEE/Ch0T34uxL_c/s320/car+wash+7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332737320951550754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tip #3 - Optimize your location&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure the lot you choose has enough space to support multiple cars and does not interfere with regular traffic. You will need to queue cars, so plan accordingly.

This will ensure a quicker and easier cleaning process.

When car panels are too hot the formula can evaporate quickly. Be wary of Waterless Car Wash products which claim they can be used in direct sunlight. They are most likely contain high concentrations of petroleum-based solvents, alcohols and other nasty chemicals (some of which are listed on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_%281986%29"&gt;California's Prop 65&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for water-based products that openly disclose all ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGrOv0uKJI/AAAAAAAAADk/jVJ7_1AqaVk/s1600-h/CharityWaterlessCarWash5.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 189px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SgGrOv0uKJI/AAAAAAAAADk/jVJ7_1AqaVk/s320/CharityWaterlessCarWash5.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332731703627491474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tip #6 - Stay energized&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that Waterless Car Washing takes work.

Many detailers who use Eco Touch's products on a commercial-level, work in teams. One member applies the product while the second one dries, working their way from the top of the vehicle down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use a garden-style/backpack sprayer to ensure consistent application. You can find many of these at a local home &amp;amp; garden center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Know your product dilutions! Eco Touch's newly released &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/waterlesscarwashpdfs/Eco%20Touch%20Dilution%20Chart.pdf"&gt;dilution chart (pdf)&lt;/a&gt; shows how versatile product can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Work out of the sun  if possible. This can be tough if you are on-site, but aim to clean on cool vehicle panels. If you can't avoid the sun, then see tip five.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For hot car panels or heavily soiled vehicles try a pre-rinse first. Eco Touch Waterless Car Wash + Polish can be diluted 1:20 ratio to help cool the panels first or rinse off tough heavily soiled area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you encounter streaking, make sure the product is applied and then quickly toweled off within 10 seconds. Leaving the formula on the car's surface for longer than 15 - 30 seconds can lead to streaking/hazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Have multiple dilutions ready to help expedite the cleaning process. For the exterior Waterless Car wash try having a 1:5 (heavy), 1:10 (moderate) and 1:20 (pre-rinse) available at all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For large surfaces have a variety of microfiber cleaning tools available. Microfiber mops with extensions work great for taller car panels. Also include mitts and extra towels in your arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To eliminate runoff concerns, such as drips from the &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/index.php"&gt;Waterless Car Wash&lt;/a&gt;, lay a towel underneath each section of the car you clean to catch excess formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Check with your municipality first on their regulations for cleaning vehicles, especially if you are a mobile washer. And always be sure to abide by the &lt;a href="http://www.epa.gov/watertrain/cwa/"&gt;Clean Water Act&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1883777052618171353-2566146841550646274?l=ecotouchblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2566146841550646274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1883777052618171353&amp;postID=2566146841550646274' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/2566146841550646274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/2566146841550646274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/ten-tips-for-commercial-waterless-car.html' title='Ten tips for a commercial waterless car wash.'/><author><name>JD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07363317348604086383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='11' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SwFimbImt2I/AAAAAAAAAF4/hLkG8tsdsMA/S220/Logo+-blk%2Bgrn-wht+back.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883777052618171353.post-236049149460403685</id><published>2008-12-10T09:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:13:35.978-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Now in Cambridge, MA Whole Foods</title><content type='html'>We are pleased to announce that Eco Touch is now be carried at the Whole Foods Fresh Pond  in Cambridge, MA.

Eco Touch’s unique car care line gives consumers and businesses a safer way to clean their vehicles without posing a risk to their health or the environment.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A panel of over 100 Venture Capital Funds and Angel Investors selected Eco Touch from over 300 emerging companies nationwide. Judging criteria included: professionalism of the written summary, current stage of development (customers, revenue), competitive advantage and need in the marketplace, feasibility for success, and whether the company is "VentureWorthy(TM)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eco Touch’s&lt;/span&gt; line of car care products features water-based formulas with high&lt;br /&gt;concentrations of biodegradable surfactants, solvents and polishing agents. The application is simple: Spray on, wipe off. All of the products are non-toxic and free of any VOCs, fragrances or dyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/span&gt; is proud to be recognized as a top emerging company among such a remarkable list of companies,” states Eco Touch Co-founder and CEO,&lt;br /&gt;James Dudra. “We have seen tremendous interest from FundingPost’s investor community and look forward to closing our first round of capital intended to support the company’s future growth.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There are a few key factors that make a successful company: A great product, the ability to sell that product, and having a huge market to sell it to,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “Eco Touch has these points in abundance and the Investors have taken notice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/span&gt; was founded in 2007 by James Dudra and Anne Ruozzi, two eco-entrepreneurs who strive to make a difference by bringing consumers outstanding and truly green auto care products. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/span&gt; products include waterless car wash + polish, dashboard and trim cleaner, metal polish, and carpet + upholstery cleaner. They are available nationally from the company web site, ecotouch.net, as well as through regional Whole Foods, natural foods and auto parts stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/span&gt; can be found on the Pitching Across America winners page at: www.FundingPost.com/pitch-america.asp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For ordering information contact:&lt;br /&gt;www.ecotouch.net      603-319-1762      info@ecotouch.net &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1883777052618171353-3601269692026039908?l=ecotouchblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3601269692026039908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1883777052618171353&amp;postID=3601269692026039908' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/3601269692026039908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/3601269692026039908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/eco-touch-selected-as-one-of-top-50.html' title='Eco Touch® Selected As One of Top 50 Emerging Companies in U.S. by FundingPost'/><author><name>JD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07363317348604086383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='11' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SwFimbImt2I/AAAAAAAAAF4/hLkG8tsdsMA/S220/Logo+-blk%2Bgrn-wht+back.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sw-25E8w0MY/SOIsupIFayI/AAAAAAAAABk/nKQW9lb3kLA/s72-c/ecotouchlogosmall.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883777052618171353.post-3305160655581716429</id><published>2008-09-29T07:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T10:52:27.192-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Weekend Wrap-up at Boston GreenFest</title><content type='html'>Well, the BostonGreenfest went on regardless of the foul weather.

Take a closer look at automotive cleaning products.</title><content type='html'>September 23, 2008—Portsmouth, New Hampshire—&lt;a href="http://www.ecotouch.net"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/a&gt;, a cutting edge manufacturer of earth-friendly and people-safe car care products wants consumers to “de-tox” their cars this fall-- inside and out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;a href="http://www.ecotouch.net"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/a&gt; Founder and CEO James Dudra, “The green cleaning movement has focused almost entirely on household cleaners, while Americans’ second homes, their cars, have been overlooked. Americans spend an average of 25 minutes each way in their daily commute, yet few realize they can now choose to green their car interiors and say goodbye to the toxin-laden automotive cleaners of the past.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traditional car care products contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds), synthetic fragrances, and other harmful components that can lead to headaches and cause chemical sensitivities, allergic reactions and other health-related problems. Consider that as the temperature inside your car raises, the chemicals you’ve applied to the dashboard, carpet, upholstery and other surfaces evaporate to form a nauseating brew of toxic fumes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ecotouch.net"&gt;Eco Touch&lt;/a&gt; offers consumers a complete line of car care products that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free of VOCs, fragrances and dyes. The Eco Touch line includes three cleaners for the car’s interior: &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/product_details.php?pid=35"&gt;Dashboard + Trim&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/product_details.php?pid=34"&gt;Carpet + Upholstery&lt;/a&gt;; and &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/product_details.php?pid=36"&gt;Metal Polish&lt;/a&gt;. For the exterior, the company’s &lt;a href="http://ecotouch.net/product_details.php?pid=19"&gt;Waterless Car Wash&lt;/a&gt; conserves water, eliminates toxic runoff, and simplifies the cleaning process.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1883777052618171353-9194414459268185333?l=ecotouchblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/feeds/9194414459268185333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1883777052618171353&amp;postID=9194414459268185333' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/9194414459268185333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1883777052618171353/posts/default/9194414459268185333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ecotouchblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/is-your-car-making-you-sick-take-closer.html' title='Is your car making you sick?
