A Washroom Must Have

Such a small detail can become a vital step to building trust with customers and employees. That is why we aim to deliver high-quality hand dryers no matter your price range. 

Are Hand Dryers Hygienic?

Now there is a good chance that you have heard the age-old debate about whether electric hand dryers are a hygienic way to dry hands with some studies claiming that they circulate more bacteria in the air or simply blow bacteria back onto the user's hands. However, there has never been much evidence to support these claims and in fact, many modern hand dryers implement things such as HEPA filters that actually help to filter out harmful bacteria from the air. Electric hand dryers themselves are also approved by many health organisations including the WHO (World Health Organisation) as a means to dry our hands. It has also been found that contact surfaces such as waste bin lids where hand towels would be disposed of hold much more bacteria, making hand dryers arguably a much more hygienic choice.

Are Hand Dryers Cost Effective?

The short answer is yes! It may come as a surprise to some but hand dryers are arguably the most cost-effective hand-drying solution. Once you have paid for the initial cost of the hand dryer, the only recurring cost is the usage cost, which thanks to many improvements in their energy efficiency these prices can be kept very low, however with alternatives such as hand towels you will ultimately spend more money refilling towels regularly especially since many people take more towels than they need.  These costs not only add up but paper towels are less environmentally friendly contributing to more waste.

Are Hand Dryers Energy Efficient?

Modern hand dryers have come a long way and are much more energy-efficient than their earlier models. With better temperature control and faster drying times, this means they do not need to be used for as long which in turn reduces the amount of energy used making them more energy efficient.
