Hand Dryers For Home: Is It The New Trend?
March 12 2022
We know that hand dryers are pieces of technology that you see in public washrooms, as they help promote better health and hygiene. It’s without a doubt, that hand washing practices are a critical component in reducing the spread of pathogens. The big question of whether or not hand dryers are more hygienic than paper towels still remains, but we stand by the fact in which paper towels aren’t more hygienic. Studies have been conducted which show a significant amount of bacteria and pathogens on paper towels and their dispensers. Although common sense makes us think that paper towels are the better option, it’s quite far from the truth.Wouldn’t you prefer a more hygienic way of washing and drying your hands while simultaneously helping to save the environment? According to another study, it found that toilet seats are the cleanest part of public bathrooms, with more bacteria being on the toilet paper dispenser. Smart hand drying technology is evolving in public washrooms, but what about in the home? Bathroom towels are known to be one of the most unhygienic items in the home and the NHS can back us up with this statement
Hand Dryers For The Home
It might be time for you to get ahead of the trend, and invest in a hand dryer for home use. We all use bathroom towels at home, and although it provides more comfort and convenience than paper towels for example, they actually retain a lot of moisture. This ultimately allows bacteria to breed, collecting faeces and other germ substances from the hands, face and body that are harmful to our health. Bacteria is able to spread from person to person, and if the towel is used by multiple people, you’re more prone to catch germs and bacteria that you’ve been trying hard to avoid.
You should wash your hand towels at 60 – 90C in order to sterilise them completely, and they should be washed after every use if various people will be using the same towel. Imagine how much easier daily trips to the bathroom would be with technology that could quicken the process of hand drying? Germs can be transferred more easily to and from wet hands, which is why they should be dried thoroughly after washing – preferably dried with someone that isn’t ridden with germs or bacteria.
Important Things To Remember

• Hand drying could save 254 million (est) tons of paper waste every year
