Just before a winter storm rolled in, Soapy D’s Car Wash at 347 West Main Street in Little Falls had its grand opening, offering free washes for everyone who stopped by between 10 am and 3 pm.
Donna Whitney, one of the new car wash owners, said they purchased the property in the summer and have spent the last several months renovating it from top to bottom (Don Foor is the other owner).
“We have one in Ilion as well, but rebuilt this one from the ground up. The roof is new, all of the equipment in the room is new, everything.”
They’ve got new blacktop, fences, and machines to vacuum out your vehicle. “We added triple foam wax and soap and an air dryer. Little Falls needed a car wash,” she said.


A great improvement to the neighborhood . Thank you for making a difference
