Hand dryer install

[davesparks]

Those dyson ones are the worst, you have to put your hands into the narrow gap and try like hell to not touch either side of it as the jet of air is trying to strip the skin from your hands.

You've got that backwards, hand dryers should be removed and replaced with paper towels because of covid 19

Who said anything about paper towels.
It's a material roll dispenser.

My apologies, in that case my post should say 'you've got that backwards, you should be replacing roller towels with paper towels due to covid 19'

Ok, so I had it slighly wrong.
If you have cleaned your hands properly with soap, then there is no bacteria on your hands once you have finished.

If you don't clean your hands properly then a hand blower is a lot worse than paper hand towels as paper hand towels remove more left over bacteria than blowers and don't blow the bacteria around the surrounding area.

Yes, the blowers do blow water from your hands to the surroundings but it is bacteria free.

Conclusion for this thread: As @davesparks has said, replace roller towel with paper towel.

Only if everybody usimg it has washed their hands properly, but then they still end up creating a warm damp enviroment on the handdryer itself for bacteria to grow in.
Plus all the fluff and junk that gets collected in the air inlet filters allows bacteria to collect and breed there too before being blown out of the nozzle.

Totally agree mate.
I definitely wouldn't be advising anyone to have blower hand dryers now.
I would tell them the truth, that paper towels are a lot better, especially regarding Covid 19.

It's to replace hand towels due to covid 19

No wonder England is worst for corona deaths /sigh (idiots abound)

Plus all the fluff and junk that gets collected

Yeh, I have cleaned a few out it is disgusting what collects inside a hand dryer, worse than kitchen cleaning when you get inside. Also, a lot of hair.
