'Envi' is a service that provides water-free car washes on-demand via its mobile app. For those who are pressed for time or constantly on the go, this service provides a simple way for car owners to keep their [vehicle looking its best](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griots-garage).

Envi operates as a mobile platform that users can use to request an on-site car wash. Once a request is placed, the service will send a team directly to the user to clean, wax and UV protect their vehicle. What sets Envi apart from comparable services is that the team only carries out water-free car washes. This means that instead of wasting several gallons of water on a single wash, the company uses just eight ounces of [biodegradable products to clean each vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-minda-1). In addition to being eco-friendly, the company also employs workers who are deaf or hearing-impaired who can use the app to communicate with customers.

The service is not only ideal for consumers who do not have time to visit a traditional car wash, but also for those who are conscious about giving back to the environment and their community.
