Automatic hand dryers offer a wealth of benefits to savvy facility managers. Unlike paper towels, they require virtually no maintenance during their lifecycle. Here's what we mean:
- Paper towels represent a never-ending expense that will drain your operating budget for as long as you use them. That's not to mention the added costs of storing, stocking, and disposing of tons of towel waste. Since paper towels cannot be recycled, they will sit in a landfill for decades, promoting the growth and spread of disease-causing microbes. Automatic hand dryers have none of these drawbacks.
- Paper towel dispensers are made of fragile materials that are easily damaged. Impatient users might even force them open to get at the rolls. Locks break from regular use, often just soon after the dispenser is installed. When these units fail, facility managers must bear the replacement costs. On the other hand, automatic hand dryers are strong, sturdy, and are made with numerous vandal-resistant features.
- Wet paper towels are filled with all sorts of microbes, including kinds that cause serious illnesses. They easily overflow wastebaskets and spill out onto restroom floors, where they can spread dirt, mucus, and saliva. No one knows how many cases of flu and other respiratory ailments paper towels indirectly contribute to each year. But when you consider any of the health risks involved with their use, their real cost becomes clear.
