Study Says Dyson Hand Dryers Spread More Germs

Dyson's response isn't a surprise.

 

I hate hand dryers, they blow out cold air and take forever to actually dry your hands. Man I miss paper towels in washrooms. Half the time I use them i end up half drying my hands by putting them in my pockets.

 

Honestly, I'm sure wiping your hands on your jeans isn't the worst thing in the world. Not ideal but you still washed your hands, you know?

 

For sure, I always wash and I feel that's a big reason why I rarely get sick. I usually get the cold once during the winter and that is usually it. With what you see some people do these days why would you not wash?

 

Just another example as to why washing your hands at all is pointless.

 

I've always found these things to be so gross.

 

Always thought these were gross

 

This is me. Hate hand dryers in restrooms if that's the only option(that isn't paper towels) I just use my pants.
Hate when places don't have paper towels though, because I use those to open the door handle so I won't dirty my just washed hands.

 

I've personally always preferred paper towels so I can turn off the sink and open the door with them anyway. Bothers me when that option isn't available

 

This.

 

That's an odd takeaway from this.

 

It's also a joke.

 

I definitely understand the environmental implications of using paper towels, but with a foodservice corporation background and from a safety and sanitation standpoint, paper towels are where it's at. I can't stand bathrooms that don't have paper towels - especially when you then have to put your clean hands on a disgusting door handle to open the bathroom.

 

Wow just as I read this I walk into the bathroom at work and all dispensers are replaced with these things.

 

I thought this was already widely known? Like, I remember hearing a while ago that these things are nasty and just spray germs on your hands as you dry them.
