"Hand dryers have a lifespan of 5-7 years, but they are an item which is typically out of sight and out of mind. As long as they are working, they will very often be left on walls for 10 or 15+ years. Modern hand dryers have evolved to be more efficient at drying hands quickly, as well as being low energy and low noise. Choosing the right commercial hand dryer depends on your business's needs. Look for energy efficiency, high-speed drying, and HEPA filtration to ensure hygiene and cost savings."

Hand Dryers: Frequently Asked Questions
-
How hygienic are hand dryers?
Hand dryers are very hygienic because they reduce the need to touch surfaces and therefore they lower the risk of spreading disease. Hand dryers that contain a HEPA filter help to remove bacteria from the air that they use to dry your hands. Both of the Dyson hand dryers, as well as our Luna Dry unit has built-in HEPA filters. Making sure hands are not wet prevents potential germs from escaping from the washroom. We recommend using hand sanitiser after drying hands to achieve extra protection.
For more information on the hygiene merits of commercial hand dryers, see our guide for how you can create a safer washroom.
-
Do hand dryers kill germs?
Yes, hand dryers with HEPA filters remove 99.9% of the bacteria from the air expelled onto hands during the drying process, helping prevent the spread of disease.
-
Are hand dryers cost-effective?
Yes, hand dryers are cost-effective, certainly compared with older, less efficient models. Initial Washroom Hygiene offers a range of hand dryers that are economical to run, potentially saving hundreds of pounds in energy over 12 months compared to less efficient warm air dryers.
-
Do hand dryers use a lot of electricity?
Whilst some older, warm air dryers can be expensive to run, modern hand dryers such as Luna Dry can operate on as little as 300w. And with a rapid dry time, they offer one of the most energy-efficient ways to dry your hands.
-
What industries require washroom hand dryers?
Industries with high footfall such as supermarkets, restaurants, bars and factories are ideal sectors for commercial hand dryers. This allows businesses to provide rapid and efficient hand drying solutions in high use washrooms. The choice of hand dryer though is important, and should be matched to the customer's needs. On the rare occasions where electric hand dryers are not suitable, Initial Washroom Hygiene provides paper and cotton roller towel options.
-
How do I choose a hand dryer?
To choose the right hand dryer for your business, one must first evaluate the unit's cost, power, speed, energy efficiency, noise level, and durability against your washroom's foot traffic and customer expectations.
