Time Wash Okinawa

CONTRIBUTED BY BRETTE KNAUTE

There was a time, back in my youth, when my car was spotless. The seats were clean, the windows were washed — it even had a wonderful “new-car smell”. Ah the good old days…Those were the days before babies.

Now, my car is “well used”. It serves as our shuttle for adventures to castles and aquariums. It taxis little bodies back and forth to gymnastics and swimming lessons. It’s seen its fair share of nap times and snack times and all kinds of sing along times. It is also covered in lost french fries, goldfish, dried bananas and a million other crumbs that somehow develop a weird stickiness. Even the windows are covered with sticky finger prints. Really… what is with everything toddlers touch getting sticky? Oh and the sand… there is so much sand. On top of everything else, there always seems to be a strong scent of toddler musk. And that is NOT ok.

A few weeks ago it got to the point that I decided we needed some professional help, so I called Time-Wash Okinawa to set up an appointment. I don’t know about the rest of you mama’s out there, but I didn’t have time to drive to a car wash service and wait, so the fact that they would come to me was the biggest selling point.

They have an easy online booking service and were quick to respond to schedule an appointment. Then one glorious morning, they arrived at OUR HOUSE! (Can I get an AMEN from the mamas with babies who need to nap at home?) Our car detailing magician spent 3.5 hours scrubbing the car. It was sparkling and shiny when he was done. Best of all… it smells heavenly in my car now! We might not be going straight for “new car smell” but we’ve definitely got “clean car smell” and that I can handle! I don’t know why I waited so long to call them. He is now on my speed dial!
