In most cases, business owners prefer one way to dry hands over another. However, if you use paper towels, you may be missing out on all the benefits hand dryers can bring to your establishment. For one thing, they can save you money and will pay for themselves within a few months. However, the many other benefits should be considered, as well.
Cost Savings
If you consider how many thousands of dollars you spend each year on paper towels, you will start to understand how hand dryers can be cost-effective. In most cases, your dryer is designed to last up to 10 years with regular care and maintenance. This means that you can purchase a dryer and have it be used for ten years before a replacement is required instead of buying tons of paper towels that aren’t recycled and fill up landfills.
Quiet Models
Another concern of many is that the dryer will be too loud. While older models can be, new technology makes for a quiet dry. People won’t be embarrassed or startled when the dryer starts up, and people outside the restroom won’t be able to hear it.
Fast To Dry
Hand dryers work quickly to dry the hands. Drying time can be a short as 10 seconds with the newest and best models. Therefore, customers and employees can get in and out faster, as well. While they should spend at least two minutes washing, they don’t have to wait forever to get their hands dry.
Durable/Reliable
Most business owners worry that the machine won’t be durable or reliable. However, they are designed to last up to 10 years. They are also designed to withstand abuses of employees and customers, such as slamming the button or running into it on the wall.
