There is still a heated debate revolving around the hygiene between hand dryers and paper towels. For example; claims say that hand dryers potentially spread more germs than toilet paper. While the dryer’s nozzle can contain less contaminants, the washroom or toilet environment has more, which is possibly blown back to a user’s hands. In my opinion, the claims are unsubstantiated. I believe hygiene starts from how thorough you wash the hands before even thinking of the drying method. I highly advocate for automatic hand dryers for reasons, including their great contribution to preserving the environment, and do not require contact to dry, which could increase the risk of exposing washed hands to bacteria.
