Electric Hot Air Hand Dryers: Not As Efficient As You Thought It To Be

Electric hot air dryers are not as effective as they seem to be! They don’t dry your hands well and they are slow.

A recent study, “Hand Washing Facts To Know: Paper Towels vs. Hot Air Dryers” showed that:

• Using paper towels after hand washing helps remove bacteria from the hands.
• A paper towel reduces the bacterial counts by an average of 58%.
• Hot air dryers actually increase the bacterial count on the hands – up to a 438% increase in some types bacteria!
• They blow out bacteria from inside the dryer.
• They increase the number of bacteria circulating in the restroom.
• The electric dryer takes an average of 43 seconds to achieve 95% dryness.
• A paper towel takes an average of 12 seconds to achieve 95% dryness.
• Few people use the dryer long enough to ensure 55% to 65% dryness.
• With the slow drying time of hot air dryers, employees have a tendency to wipe their hands on their aprons or other dirty surfaces.
• This just increases the amount of bacteria on their hands.
• Working with wet hands can contribute to accidents with electric appliances, accidental knife injuries, and increase the chances of dropping glassware or hot food.

An electric hand dryer can actually defeat the good work that was just done by a thorough hand washing!

Washing Your Hands

Using a simple procedure for washing your hands is not difficult and, when done correctly, it will  remove a great number of bacteria from your skin.

Doing It Right

1. Wet your hands with warm running water.
2. Add soap and rub your hands together, making a soapy lather.
3. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds and do not wash off lather.
4. Wash the front and back of your hands thoroughly including between your fingers and underneath the nails.
5. Rinse your hands well under the warm running water.
6. Dry your hands thoroughly with a paper towel.
7. You can use the towel to cover the door handle or knob as you open thedoor.
8. Dispose of the paper towel in the trash.

Selecting A Soap

• Any kind of soap will do but some are better than others. Common bar soap can be used but it should be kept in a self-draining holder, which should be kept clean. Water should not puddle around the soap bar as some kinds of germs actually thrive in this environment.
• Samll liquid soap dispensers are practical to use and can be easilty refilled with soap that you buy in bulk from the grocery.
• Commercial grade soap dispensers can be mounted on the wall and come in various sizes. The soap is antibacterial and some dispensers have portion control to limit the waste.

A wide variety of soap dispensers are available at U-NEED-IT.com as well as paper towel dispensers for use at home or work.
