 Hand dryers for bathrooms have become increasingly sophisticated over the last few years. Previous generations of dryers were plagued with functionality problems. Many did not dry the hands at all, and temperature was so hard to control they either blew air so hot that it almost burned the skin or air so cold that it made the user wonder why the word “dryer” was even part of the brand. However, these issues have all been worked out in newer lines of dryers that now allow facilities to save money on the costs associated with paper towel health hazards, vandalism, and ongoing restocking.
One way that hand dryers for bathrooms can save money is by eliminating the hidden costs associated with a lack of sanitation. Paper towel waste carries with it a litany of germs that can have a direct, negative impact on human health. This lack of hygiene has a negative impact on any facility. Depending on the type of industry we are talking about, this impact can be more severe for some organizations than others. Any type of food service industry can face financial penalties up to and including being shut down by the health department if restrooms are dirty. Other types of organizations can suffer a loss of reputation that causes a downturn in repeat business. Entertainment facilities can suffer a downturn from a loss of repeat business. Schools can lose number in a number of ways if student health is impacted negatively by the quality of campus facilities.
By replacing paper towels with dryers, the sanitation of any facility immediately improves with the elimination of soiled paper towels spilling onto the floor from overflowing trash cans.
Hand dryers for bathrooms can also save money by eliminating the cost of repairing floors that have been flooded by paper towel vandalism. Paper towels are a favorite tool of vandals because they are easy to stuff down sinks and toilets in order to trigger an overflow. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to render an entire restroom inoperable in a matter of a few short seconds. Many people prefer to damage a restroom this way because they feel it is less detectable than more overt activities such as breaking mirrors, scratching fixtures, and writing on partitions. While flooding has little chance of inflicting permanent damage on a toilet or sink, it often does ruin the flooring to the point that the facility ultimately has to pay to have the floor remodeled.
By eliminating the miscreant’s ability to flood restroom floors, hand dryers for bathrooms keep facilities in better working order at reduced maintenance and replacement costs.
 It goes without saying that restocking paper towels represents a cost that can be immediately subtracted from an organization’s budget the minute paper towel dispensers are taken out of the restroom once and for all. With new lines featuring superb energy efficiency, and some models even bearing Energy Star certification, hand dryers for bathrooms have become essential elements in the ongoing fight to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. Installing dryers can help an organization financially benefit from LEED certification and gain higher public favor with an environmentally friendly image.
