Gloria
asks:
Which do
you feel is the most cost effective product, the electric
hand dryer or the touchless paper towel system?
James
Elledge replies ...
Looking at the total life cycle
cost of the two choices, the electric hand dryer would
be the most cost-effective selection. The initial cost
would be higher, but you would not be having to purchase
a supply of paper towels for the life of the unit. As
far as which selection is more sanitary, studies have
shown that disposable paper towels rank highest, followed
by electric hand dryers. Cloth towels came in last,
since multiple users would promote the spread of germs.
I hope this helps.
