Hand Towels vs Hand Dryers

PAPER TOWELS VS HAND DRYERS

When hands are properly and correctly washed most of the bacteria is removed regardless of how the hands are then dried. Regardless of the drying method, dried hands reduce the transfer of bacteria which happens easily with wet or damp hands. Thus, effective hand drying is important in preventing the spread of bacteria.

Below we highlight the benefits of each method and the applications in which one may be preferred over another. Whichever one you pick, Taurus Maintenance Products has a suitable solution for you.


Benefits of Paper Towels

  • Fast – Paper towels are the quickest way to dry removing 85% of moisture in as little as only 5 seconds
  • Multipurpose – Paper towels can be used to dry hands but can also be used to quickly wipe counters, open doors, etc
  • High capacity – High capacity rolls are available for higher traffic washrooms and the ability to take a towel and step away from the dispenser means that no traffic build up behind a user waiting to dry their hands
  • Quick to install – Paper towel dispensers are quick to install, do not require specialist installation and can be installed independent of power supply
