The Big Question: Are hand dryers really more sanitary and convenient than paper towels? The Short Answer? Yes. But, not all of them. And No, it’s not what you think. It’s not just the expensive hand dryers. Most modern hand dryers are more sanitary and convenient than paper towels.
Firstly, hand dryers solve unique sanitary problems for both consumers and businesses. The top recommended hand dryers are automatic (i.e., no push button), energy efficient, high-speed, and contain HEPA filters. These hand dryers will dry your hands quickly, often under 10 seconds, and won’t blow nano fecal matter onto your hands either as the HEPA filters remove up to 99.97% of germs and contaminants from the air.
Here are the issues with paper towels:
For consumers, paper towels may dry your hands quickly, but it often carries germs and bacteria from the surrounding air and are often touched by multiple individuals. Automatic paper towel dispensers may solve the latter, but the paper towels are still contaminated by the surrounding air.
For businesses, paper towel misuse is costly. Paper towels are often discarded in toilets, sinks, and on restroom floors. This creates the need for plumbing repairs, frequent cleaning, trash removal and paper towel refills during business hours, and can even detract customers as an unclean restroom is unpleasant to most people.
