HYGIENE FAQS

Are hand dryers sanitary?

Yes! Drying your hands with a hand dryer is sanitary. Recently, experts from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have unequivocally stated that
hand dryers are a supported hand drying solution and that people should make
sure they dry their hands completely, since “germs spread more easily when hands
are wet.”

In fact, hand hygiene consists of two components: hand washing and hand drying.
Both are equally important. The World Health Organization’s advice is to
frequently clean and dry hands thoroughly. With the emergence of COVID-19, hand
hygiene has become more relevant than ever before. Experts agree that proper
hand hygiene is the best way to avoid the spread of germs, including
coronavirus. 

Do hand dryers spread germs? The presence of germs and bacteria is inevitable in
high traffic areas like bathrooms, not all hand dryers offer the same level of
germ protection. Hand dryers with a HEPA filter are highly recommended. Excel
Dryer’s hand dryer with HEPA filter captures particles as small as 0.3 microns
and removes 99.999% of potentially present bacteria.

Moreover, Paul Suits, director of Infection Control at Upstate Medical
University, stated that hand dryers are safe to use. He added that users of
restrooms should be more concerned about not drying their hands properly – “If
you don’t completely dry your hands, it won’t kill all of the bacteria.”

Are paper towels or hand dryers more sanitary? For decades people have been
reading scary headlines about the spread of germs by hand dryers, which
influences public opinion towards biased conclusions. The truth is, according to
a study on germs found on paper towels conducted by the American Journal of
Infection Control, bacteria are easily transferred from paper towels to
individuals after handwashing.

Instead, hand dryers foster a more hygienic environment: without touch sensors,
they are a hands-free way to dry your hands, and therefore reduce the number of
touchpoints in restrooms. Furthermore, there is no scientific evidence to
determine that hand dryers actually spread germs on your hands more than paper
towels. For an added level of user confidence, a facility may want to consider
adding HEPA Filtration and anti-microbial wall guards.

Are hand dryers actually full of bacteria? Excel hand dryers were tested by LMS
Technologies and are proven to remove 99.97% of potentially present bacteria at
0.3 microns from the airstream.

In 2019, Nature published a study on the comparison of six different hand-drying
methods, including air jet dryers, to establish their efficiency in removing
bacteria after handwashing. At the end of the experiment, it was clear that the
use of the hand dryer “was the most effective method, having the best
performance in removing bacteria, with a removal percentage of 94.9%.”
Additionally, it was proven that more bacteria were removed when drying hands in
a stationary position versus rubbing them together.

Do hospitals use hand dryers? Yes, both health care facilities and hospitals use
hand dryers. Read about Northwestern Memorial Hospital and see why they chose
the XLERATOR hand dryers. The senior living community Seabury Life Planning also
uses Excel hand dryers.

What are the CDC guidelines for hand washing during the COVID-19 pandemic? The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest washing hands with warm
water and soap for at least 20 seconds. It is fundamental to dry hands
completely afterward. Read more on the CDC official website.

A MAYO CLINIC STUDY

This study conducted by a worldwide leader in medical care, research and
education concluded there are “no statistically significant differences in the
efficiency of four different hand-drying methods for removing bacteria from
washed hands.”

Mayo Clinic Study


A LAVAL UNIVERSITY STUDY

This study demonstrated that bacteria can be isolated from unused paper towels
and that they may be transferred to individuals after handwashing. This may have
implications in some industrial and clinical settings as well as in individuals
with compromised immune systems.

Laval University Study


A MICROCHEM LAB STUDY

The results of this study indicate that the method of drying does not
