The problems
with paper towels
Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer
Paper towels are expensive,
have a high impact on the
environment and cause extra
washroom maintenance.
Did you know?
Ensuring hands are dry is crucial
for maintaining hygiene levels,
as damp hands can spread up
to 1,000 times more bacteria
to the surfaces they touch.
Blockages
Paper towels can clog
waste water systems.
Overflowing bins
Soiled towels can end up on
the floor of busy washrooms,
creating a negative impression
of hygiene standards.
Empty dispensers
Dispensers are often left empty
leaving no way to dry hands.
Wasteful
Used paper towels are rarely
recycled, so they end up in
landfill or are incinerated.

The problems with
other hand dryers
Warm air dryers
Warm air dryers are slow.
Which means they’re energy hungry,
expensive to run and unhygienic.
Dry times can take up to 43 seconds,
so many users give up before their
hands are dry – risking increased
spread of bacteria.
Jet dryers
Other jet dryers might look like a Dyson
Airblade
™
hand dryer, but when it comes
to performance, there’s no comparison.
Thanks to weak motors, most other jet
dryers can’t generate the fast airflow
needed to dry hands quickly. They can
also lack the power required to draw
the air through a HEPA filter.
So most other jet dryers aren’t just
slower than Airblade
™
technology,
they’re less hygienic too.
Have you ever looked inside a drain tank?
Some hand dryers collect waste water
using drain tanks. But these are
unhygienic – providing the perfect
breeding ground for bacteria.
Drain tanks must be emptied and
cleaned regularly – adding time and
effort to the washroom maintenance
process, and risking spillage of
waste water during disposal.
Did you know?
In recent testing, Dyson
microbiologists detected greater
levels of bacteria in a drain tank
than levels that can be found in
the average household toilet.

Did you know?
Public health specialists NSF state
that to be certified as hygienic,
a hand dryer must dry hands
in 15 seconds or less.
