Electric Hand Dryers Make Sense for Businesses

Categorized: business, health | No comments

I’m sure you’ve noticed how many businesses have upgraded their bathrooms and now use automatic electric hand dryers instead of paper towels. There still remains a few small businesses that use paper towels or napkins but the number is diminishing as years go by. Possibly the reason these businesses have held off is due to financial reason. Maybe they don’t see a need to invest in the installation of a new wall mounted hand dryer.

The truth of the matter is these machines pay for themselves many times over. How quickly you recover your costs depends on the amount of traffic you get in your restroom. Even though these machines use up some electricity, their electric usage is much cheaper than the expense of using paper towels.

In addition, mounting a commercial hand dryer in a restroom inevitably leads to a cleaner restroom. Many people tend to waste paper towels and it is very common to see dirty and sometimes even clean paper towels strewn across the floor in a public restroom. This gives the restroom a messy and dirty image and is costly in respects to the labor needed in keeping the restroom picked up.  With a paper towel dispenser you are constantly replenishing stock, hiring labor to keep the restroom cleaned up, and paying to have the trash removed.

Business owners have a variety of electric hand dryer companies to choose from. Some carry high end models for fancier establishments and others specialize in high traffic bathrooms and carry a more durable line.  The fancier models also have a more attractive casing so that they don’t detract from the ambience of the establishment.  It’s very easy to find a design that fits your business as well as your budget.

The hand dryers with the most up to date technology and the most durable and attractive cases will be the most expensive. The power wattage and core materials will also influence the cost of hand dryers  The most popular companies that carry these product lines include Mitsubishi, Xlerator, and American.

As you can see, the switch to a commercial hand dryer is a very logical and practical move.  The initial investment will be small in comparison to the money saved by removing paper towels from the restroom.
