Hand Dryers : Their Benefits to You and The Environment

WHY SHOULD YOU USE HAND DRYERS INSTEAD OF WIPING WET HANDS WITH PAPER TOWELS?

Hand dryers are made to blow a warm stream of air, around 20° – 40°, at a high velocity in order to dry wet hands efficiently in a short time. They are often automatically activated due to an infrared sensor detecting when hands are beneath them where the warm air is meant to be exhausted.

And while hand dryers are not able to eliminate any pesky bacteria or diseases, they are able to enable a lesser spread of germs. According to research, damp hands spread 1000 times more bacteria through touch 1. In fact, up to 88% 2 of unused paper towels can be unhygienic as they can pick up and contain bacteria from a user and potentially spread it to another user’s hands 3. This is because germs are transferred easier when hands are wet, thus a high-heat and fast drying hand dryer helps users dry their hands in as little as 15 seconds or less, which lessens the spread of germs.

Plus, when you use hand dryers instead of paper towels to wipe your hands dry after each wash, you are choosing an eco-friendly option that reduces the need to use paper towels and thus helping to save the environment from more pollution. For example, when using a paper towel dispenser 200 times a day, it creates 1,800 lbs of paper towel waste annually, while electric hand dryers reduce the carbon footprint of hand drying by approximately 85% instead and creates zero paper waste 4.
