Now more than ever, hygiene is a top priority. You’d think that the most hygienic place to be would be the washroom right? I’m afraid not. Although our knowledge of hygiene and bacteria has drastically improved over the last century, the design of washrooms hasn’t changed one bit. There are still far too many opportunities for germs to spread, and cross contamination to occur. Just think, paper towel dispensers will often require the use of a handle, forcing you to touch an unhygienic surface that others have touched after washing your hands. You then need to open a bin, to dispose of it, another breeding ground for germs.
Not only this, paper towels remain the top culprit for often expensive blocked toilets, represent an ongoing cost to your business and are not always recycled effectively. The answer? A touch free motion activated hand dryer. Not only is it going to pay for itself over time, it’s endlessly more hygienic and will convince your customers that you’re not running a business stuck in 1985.
Many hand dryers now include high efficiency particulate air filters, known more commonly as “HEPA” filters. For Dyson Airblade™ these are standard in all models. HEPA filters are mechanical filters that help remove harmful bacteria from the air before it is used to dry your hands. Not only do they ensure your hands are dried in a clean atmosphere, they actually help increase the hygiene of the whole washroom as part of their daily use, now that’s a healthy bi-product! As Bacteria and viruses in washrooms can cause colds, flu, sickness, diarrhoea, investing in a hand drier for your business may have more benefits that you realised!
