Hand Dryers and Hygiene

There are two key options when putting hand drying facilities in the bathrooms of your office building, school, or hospitality venue. Most organisations choose between disposable paper towels and electric hand dryers, but which provides better levels of hygiene.

Modern jet hand dryers work by blowing air at high speed over the skin to displace any droplets of water from hand washing, and are fast, efficient, and highly effective. They offer a high standard of hygiene for users as no residue is left on the skin, and unlike paper towels, there is no waste left in the bathroom.

Improving hand hygiene

One of the main advantages of choosing jet hand dryers such as the Mitsubishi Electric Wave i01 or u02 for your bathrooms is that they work automatically. Rather than users needing to push a button to operate the dryer which could function as a point of contact for spreading bacteria, a proximity sensor detects a hand in the drying area and automatically turns on the fan.

A major advantage for hygiene is the way a jet hand dryer works. Unlike conventional warm air hand dryers which use heat to cause water to evaporate and can leave a soap residue on the skin that would trap bacteria, jet hand dryers simply blow the droplets of water off the surface of the skin taking any contaminants with it.
