Paper towels and air dryers, a classic debate that’s been had for decades. Which one is better? We at H.C. Walterhoefer are right on the side of paper towels, and after you go over this blog, we are pretty confident you will be as well. Read on to learn why you should use paper towels in your restaurant’s bathroom!

Paper Towels Are Much More Sanitary

Did you know that using air hand dryers can actually cause an increase in the bacteria on your hands? Hand dryers do the opposite of what they are supposed to do in most cases. The entire purpose of washing your hands after using the restroom is to get rid of all bacteria on your hands, and here comes an air dryer to put all of the bacteria you just removed where it came from. They are so bad it is almost as though you never washed your hands in the first place, and we all know just how gross that is. This is why it’s so important to consider using paper towels in your restaurant’s bathroom. You will have employees washing their hands and it’s important to take all the steps to ensure their hands are truly clean after washing their hands.

Time is Money, and Paper Towels Can Save Time

This could seem like a small problem, but let’s be honest. Drying your hands with an air dryer takes a while, and in a fast-paced restaurant environment, your time is important. It’s been shown that using paper towels to dry your hands with paper towels takes only a few seconds. However, using an air dryer takes much longer, especially if you’re trying to completely dry your hands. If you have employees spending more time drying their hands with the air dryer instead of a paper towel, it’s more time wasted while on the job. You might think the difference between the two is minuscule, but it can add up if you do the math.
