In the dynamic environment of schools and educational institutions, maintaining clean restrooms is paramount for the well-being of students and staff. Let’s start with the facts. School bathrooms are high-traffic, and if not maintained properly, can get messy. For this reason, paper towels are not a great fit and can even add to the stress, think additional cleaning and plumbing repairs. Hand dryers are a more cost effective option, if considered carefully. We advise facility managers to consider the following factors to help guide their purchase.
Factors to Consider in Selecting a Hand Dryer for Schools & Educational Institutions
- Restroom Traffic
- Durability
- User Experience e.g., Fast Drying Speeds, Ease of Use for Kids vs Teenagers and Young Adults
- Special Features e.g., ADA compliance, energy efficiency certifications like LEED Credits, and HEPA Filters for air cleaning capabilities
