Rejected petition ALLOW SELF EMPLOYED MOBILE CAR VALETERS TO WORK along with household cleaners
During the current lockdown rules, my business has been told to close on the basis that I am classed as a car wash. Cleaners and tradesmen are ok to go into peoples homes, but I am unable to clean and sanitise a car, in the open air, zero contact and lone working.
More details
It is unfair and unexplained as to why cleaners can enter homes but a valeter cannot clean a vehicle. There is by far much much lower risk of transmission of COVID-19 outside after all
