you own a business property or are in charge of the cleanliness and accessibility of the bathroom facilities of your company, you may need to consider upgrading an important bathroom component. Most bathrooms in the United States still use paper towels for employees and guests to dry their hands with after washing them. But even if your facility only uses recycled paper towels, they are very wasteful and not environmentally friendly. They can also cause more of a mess, and lead to vandalism or sanitary issues.

There is a better option for hand drying in your company’s bathrooms, and they take little work to install. Hot or cool air hand dryers offer a more sanitary, less wasteful option over paper towels. They also save your company money. Some companies have reported a savings of over 90% once they dropped the use of paper towels in their bathrooms and switched to hand dryers. Your company can also save on labor, as the hand dryer rarely needs maintenance. This is unlike the upkeep of paper towels which includes regular refills and removal of the used waste.

Hand dryers have also been shown to be more sanitary and help stop the spread of bacteria and germs. This offers even more benefits to government buildings, schools, and hospitals, which may see hundreds of visitors a day. Children have less of an opportunity to make a mess with a hand dryer in the bathrooms. Many bathroom visitors take too many paper towels due to the poor design of the dispensers, and leave them lying around the sinks or on the floor. Paper towels can also cause a toilet to back up if they are flushed, causing even more of a mess or tempting vandals.

The energy used to run a hand dryer is minimal, meaning your savings will continue to grow after the initial cost of installation. Once a facility has switched to these dryers, there is no more need for continual orders of expensive cases of paper towels. If you own a business or are in charge of the bathroom facilities for your company, the switch to high efficiency hand dryers is a move you need to consider.
