Since the Covid-19 pandemic begun, hygiene has become more important to the average washroom user and providing a sanitary image is imperative to a customer’s encounter with a business. With damp hands spreading 1000 times more bacteria through touch, the methods we use to dry our hands are becoming increasingly important in providing a hygienic washroom experience. Unused paper towels can pick up and harbour bacteria from one user, transferring potentially harmful microorganisms onto the next user’s hands, making for an unhygienic washroom encounter.

Sensor hand dryers offer maximum hygiene

The Mitsubishi Jet Towel uses infrared sensors within a spacious hand drying area, ensuring a completely no-touch washroom experience and providing extra hygiene when coupled with sensor activated taps. Manufactured from antibacterial plastics, the Jet Towel curbs bacterial growth on its surface and the NSF certified air filter provides pure, clean air for drying. Air dryers make a zero-contact hand wash possible, minimising bacterial transfer and providing maximum hygiene for the user.

Choose a hand dryer with a water pod rather than one that sprays excess water on the floor

Not all hand dryers are created equal. Many models blow down onto users’ hands, with excess water simply dripping onto the floor. Models with a water pod are a much better option for maintaining a clean and attractive washroom environment. The excess water pod within the Jet Towel can store water from up to 800 uses, keeping the floor clean and dirty water free.

Look for a quiet hand dryer

Another thing to consider when you’re buying hand dryers for your washrooms is how noisy they are. Mitsubishi’s innovative Wave Nozzle Technology™ reduces drying time and keeps the volume of operation at 59 Decibels, quieter than a normal conversation and 2 Decibels quieter than their last model. The Jet Towel provides a quiet and clean washroom experience for users, catering to the increasingly hygiene based needs of a customer.

Hand dryers are a greener option than paper towels

In addition to hygiene, hand dryers provide increased economic and environmental efficiency. One paper towel dispenser used 200 times a day will create 1,800 lbs of paper towel waste every year, whereas electric hand dryers create zero paper waste and reduce the carbon footprint of hand drying by approximately 85%.

The Mitsubishi Jet Towel has a life of up to ten years before it needs to be replaced, compared to the constant topping up required for paper towel dispensers. For £1 of electricity the Jet Towel provides 5000 dries, highly economically efficient. For an increasingly environmentally friendly world, hand dryers reduce the carbon footprint of paper towels and makes hand drying a more cost-effective process.

Electric hand dryers are the best choice of hand drying technology for washrooms as they provide a clean and hygienic user experience and reduce the environmental impact of hand drying, all while being more cost-effective than paper towels.
