Compare how long each hand dryer runs

One important factor to check out is the run time for each of the commercial hand dryers you're considering. Dryers should run long enough and at a high enough temperature to fully dry the hands. This minimizes the growth of bacteria by removing a damp environment in which it can grow. There are several high-efficiency bathroom hand dryers that run for just 10 seconds. Some models run for 25 to 30 seconds. Both options have benefits. Users can use multiple cycles to get hands completely dry with a 10-second drying model, which minimizes energy loss caused by models that automatically run for 30 seconds. However, dryers that run for 30 seconds make it easy for employees to thoroughly dry their hands in just one cycle.

Find commercial hand dryers for any bathroom layout

Select a dryer that fits in with the layout and size of the bathroom. Large bathrooms often have plenty of wall space for multiple dryers, ensuring that users rarely have to wait in line to dry their hands. Consider putting dryers near the hand soap refill and sink so users don't have to walk far with wet hands.

Available power sources also determine where commercial hand dryers fit. Many models accommodate both hardwired installation and plug-in installation.

Maximize office hygiene with cleaning supplies

Bathroom hand dryers are a key part of office hygiene, minimizing the spread of illness during cold and flu season. Keep other products on hand to keep the work environment sanitary.

• Dispenser and paper towel refills
• Hand sanitizer
• Cleaning wipes
• All-in-one bathroom cleaner

Whether you install a hand dryer to replace or supplement the paper towel dispenser, choose a model that suits the office to give employees the tools they need to stay healthy. Keep the proper janitorial supplies and cleaners on hand to improve office sanitation.
