Frequently Asked Questions

How much truth is there that hand dryers spread bacteria around the washroom?

There have been a number of university studies and papers done that show this is not the case. The Food Hygiene Department at Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association UK have reported “Air emitted from the outlet of driers contained significantly fewer micro-organisms than air entering driers. Drying of hands with hand driers was no more likely to generate airborne micro-organisms than drying with paper towels”.

What is the most hygienic way of drying hands?

Microbiologists have said that the most hygienic way of drying hands is by using a hot air hand dryer until hands are completely dry, or to use a hand dryer and to absorb any moisture left with a paper towel.
