Now Dry Your Hands

It is worth considering at this point the factors that are most important when considering which basic method suits your situation best.

Linen towels, whilst being traditionally accepted in the market-place have major disadvantages. The cleanliness of the towels is considered suspect and you rarely receive the same towels back. They do run out, frequently need changing and you have to contract for so many towels per week over a long period of time.

Hospitals now rarely use linen towels.

You are tied to the dispenser to dry your hands and you cannot walk away and leave the dispenser free for the next person - a problem in busy periods.

Hot air machines have a high initial capital cost and require a specific power source controlled from outside the washroom area. They do break down or can blow cold air. Drying your face is not a pleasant experience. many reports are a cause for concern as to the hygienic aspects of this system. Look below a hot air machine at the discolouration of the surface. And again the queuing factor comes into play.
