The official account for the Responsible Car Wash Scheme. An industry and government backed scheme driving up standards in the car wash industry.

[Responsible Car Wash Scheme @RCWScheme]

A structured, co-ordinated multiagency approach to enforcement is required to tackle the issue of unlawful practices within the #carwash sector – bringing us all a step closer to a #FairWash future. See insights from our new report on @Taxi_Point https://t.co/gEkcqB7xBS

[Responsible Car Wash Scheme @RCWScheme]

Following a 2 year study with @TrentUni into employment, business & environmental practices in the #carwash sector, we are calling on enforcement agencies to accelerate their efforts to tackle problems including wage theft, exploitation & malpractice

Margaret Beels @UKDirectorLME said the issues found in car washes required “a joined up approach – including engagement with local authorities, since there can be environmental issues as well as employment concerns associated with hand #carwashes.” https://t.co/4grxlmy4tj

In June, a couple who kept vulnerable people as slaves and made them work for free at a car wash business in Bristol were jailed for a total of 25 years.

.@WilcomaticLtd washes 20 million #vehicles in the UK every year!

That’s why we’re delighted to have them on board with our #RCWS Code of Practice.

This means that even more drivers will be able to access a #FairWash – no matter where they are in the country.

[Responsible Car Wash Scheme @RCWScheme]

More drivers are on the lookout for responsible #carwashes which provide a #FairWash.

It’s good to know that @WilcomaticLtd automatic #carwash systems can be trusted to deliver one.

Keep an eye out for RCWS #accreditation stickers at their sites in major UK supermarkets!

[Responsible Car Wash Scheme @RCWScheme]

It’s so important for drivers to know the #carwash they’re using is operating in an #ethical manner.

That’s why @WilcomaticLTD is displaying the RCWS logo in over 500 locations across the UK - meaning that you’re never too far away from a #FairWash

If you’re in Norfolk or Suffolk this month, you may spot one of our ads! We’re appearing on billboards & buses in towns and cities including Ipswich, Norwich and Sudbury to raise awareness that non-compliant car washes are operating there – and highlight how to find a #FairWash

[Responsible Car Wash Scheme @RCWScheme]

This month, we’ve been working with @NorfolkPolice and @SuffolkPolice to crack down on non-compliant car washes operating in both counties. We've visited several sites to inform the business owners of their obligations in ensuring a #FairWash for customers.
