How to dry hands more scientifically? Hand dryer or paper towel? Are you troubled by this problem? We know that food companies have high hand hygiene requirements. They strictly implement hand washing and disinfection procedures to avoid direct contact with food and avoid cross-contamination. Usually their hand washing procedures are as follows:

Rinse with clean water——-wash with soap———rinse with clean water—————Soak in disinfectant (now most of them use sensory hands Sterilizer to avoid cross-infection and save a lot of disinfectant) ———— rinse with clean water ———— dry hands (dry your hands with a high-efficiency hand dryer), Obviously the food industry can’t use sassafras, nor can you use towels.

But in normal times, everyone should know that the average person washes their hands 25 times a day, that is to say, the number of times each person washes their hands is about 9,100 times a year—–it should be paid enough attention!

There has been a debate over the years between hand dryers and paper towel dryers. Now let’s look at this problem from the following perspective:

1. Economic perspective

For property management cost control, hand dryers are definitely the most economical and hygienic hand dryers. Why?

1) The cost of hand dryers, especially high-speed hand dryers and double-sided air-jet hand dryers, is less than 1 cent, while the cost of paper towels is 3-6 cents (the average cost per sheet is 3-6 cents). money)

2) Hand dryers, especially high-speed hand dryers, require almost no maintenance, and there are many problems after hand drying with paper towels, such as cleaning of waste paper, replacement of new paper towels, etc., which also increases labor costs.

Therefore, from the perspective of property management, the use of hand dryers, especially the new double-sided jet hand dryers, greatly reduces the cost.

2. Environmental protection perspective

The raw materials for making paper towels are trees and forests, which are precious resources for human beings.

From the perspective of protecting the environment, it is clear that the use of paper is not good for forests. From this point of view, people are encouraged to use hand dryers more, which can be fully reflected in developed countries, where most of their bathrooms use hand dryers.

3. Convenience angle

From this point of view, there is no doubt that paper towel is more popular than hand dryer, because it is easy and quick to dry hands with paper towel, so it is welcomed by more people.

So, do you have to wait for a long time to dry your hands with a hand dryer?

Like any other product, there are many brands of hand dryers to choose from, and each of them has its own merits. However, more professional manufacturers have strict requirements on the speed of hand drying. Some professional brands, such as Aike Electric, which specializes in the production and development of jet hand dryers, have been producing hand dryers for many years. The conclusion is that people’s tolerance time for drying their hands is 10 seconds each time, that is to say, if a hand-drying product cannot dry their hands for more than 10 seconds, especially in public toilets, if someone waits to dry their hands later, they will face dry hands. The embarrassment of failure.

Today, more and more professional manufacturers produce hand dryers that can dry hands within 30 seconds. While providing convenience, it will also allow users to feel warm in cold seasons.

4. Hygiene perspective

Many people mistakenly believe that hand dryers spread germs.

However, two German research institutes, Fresenius and IPI research institutes, came to the conclusion after a series of experiments in 1995 that the number of bacteria in the warm air discharged by the warm air dryer is significantly lower than that of the air before inhalation, which means: warm air drying Cell phones can greatly reduce airborne bacteria. The research and development department of Dior Electric, which focuses on bathroom appliances, also issued a report stating that qualified hand dryers should be treated with antibacterial treatment. Regardless of the air entering the hand dryer, the air coming out should meet the hygienic requirements.

Why can hand dryers greatly reduce airborne bacteria?

Mainly because, when the air passes through the heating wire in the hand dryer, most of the bacteria are killed by the high temperature.

Today, with the development of technology, the hand dryer already has the function of ozone disinfection, which can further disinfect the hands and make it more hygienic.
