Step-by-step tutorial

  • Step 1

    Set up a cleaning station with cleaning materials. We used a bucket of soap and water, sponges, and a spray bottle.

    Your kids will love getting their bikes, cars, wagons, or scooters all soapy and clean!

    We even ended up doing some detail cleaning with the spray bottle (full of water).

  • Step 4

    Then, drive your bike or scooter through the wash (a sprinkler set up in the driveway). We had a crazy hose-like sprinkler, but any type of sprinkler will work. I heard so many giggles as they rode beside it and through it.

  • Final result!

    After your car or bike is all clean, drive it back to the washing station and do it again. They both had so much fun with this! I thought they would use a few different "vehicles", but they kept washing and rinsing the same ones over and over again. You could also try this on a smaller scale with matchbox cars.
