Choose Initial for hand dryers

By Ellie Quinn

Given the fact that we are constantly under threat from the unseen danger of germs and infections, it seems inconceivable that some people still think it's safe to use hand towels in public washrooms. If they are not changed on a sufficiently frequent and regular basis, and they rarely are, they are likely to harbour a great many hazards for unsuspecting users.

The sensible option for providers of washroom facilities is to install hand dryers at the earliest opportunity. In the eternal debate about hand dryers vs. hand towels, the former should be the option of choice for a number of reasons. Hygiene is obviously the most important one, given the potential repercussions, but there are several more as well.

We all have a responsibility to the environment these days, for example, so any option that saves on the need to manufacture paper or cloth towels has to be taken seriously. Washrooms that offer paper towels to users will use a huge number of them in any given month, and of course there's no way of regulating how many each user will utilise.

Companies like Initial offer their clients a range of hand dryers that will increase hygiene standards and reduce their overall running costs in no time. Every workplace has to have washroom facilities of a certain standard, and any company in the UK that decides to skimp in this vital area runs the risk of spreading further infections throughout the workforce.

Of course, the need for hygiene standards is not just about workplace facilities. Public buildings such as supermarkets, sporting venues and live concert halls have a legal responsibility to provide adequate toilet and washing amenities, and a growing number of them are opting to install hand dryers. This could mean more wins in the war against germs.
