## Story

HOLLAND, Mich. - Throughout November and December, Tommy's Express Car Wash donated 100,000 surface cleaner wipes to local franchise locations to help educate the community on the importance of preventing the spread of disease by wiping your steering wheel, door handles, and shifter every time you enter or exit your vehicle.

Dr. Oz of The Dr. Oz Show reports that the top germ hot spots are your floor mats, the driver's area, including steering wheel and door handles. Along with the surface cleaner wipes, Tommy’s Express Car Wash also offers free automatic mat washers at participating locations to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and other disease-causing germs.

President and chief innovation officer at Tommy’s Express Ryan Essenburg stated, “As the COVID-19 numbers were growing, we wanted to find a way to help flatten the curve and educate the community on top spots in your car that germs like to live.” He also states, “These surface cleaner wipes help clean many different types of bacteria off of your cars and will help keep our guests healthy this holiday season.”

The Surface Cleaners were given out at the over 50 Tommy’s Express franchise locations nationwide.

Tommy’s Express is a fast-growing national car wash franchise built around the Totally Tommy site model initially developed by Tommy Car Wash Systems. Franchise locations are closely supported with exclusive training, marketing, and technical assistance and enjoy access to proprietary, franchise-exclusive developments in wash products and technology.
