What the Data Says: Hand Dryers vs. Paper Towels

Excel Dryer partnered with MetrixLab, a leading market research firm, to conduct a global restroom survey of over 4,000 participants across the United States, Europe, and Asia. The findings highlight a universal truth:

✅ Cleanliness and hygiene are the #1 priorities in public restrooms across all demographics.

✅ 100% of participants agreed that a dirty restroom negatively impacts a business’s reputation—and 80% said they would reconsider returning to a restaurant with unclean facilities.

✅ The leading cause of restroom mess? Paper towels left on the floor or overflowing trash bins.

In addition, 75% of U.S. respondents reported washing their hands up to 10 times daily—a significant increase compared to pre-pandemic behavior. With a greater emphasis on hygiene than ever before, restrooms need a touchless, hygienic, and cost-effective hand drying solution—and paper towels simply aren’t the answer.

What the Science Says: University of Arizona Study

A 2020 University of Arizona scoping review, published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology, examined the hygiene of hand dryers vs. paper towels. Key findings include:

✅ Hand dryers and paper towels are both effective for hand drying

✅ No conclusive evidence supports one method over the other for hygiene or safety

✅ Many pro-paper towel studies were industry-funded and lacked scientific rigor

✅ Completely drying hands is the most important hygiene factor—regardless of the drying method

Sensationalized media reports and biased studies have fueled misinformation, but the scientific consensus is clear: Hand dryers are a hygienic, effective, and sustainable solution for commercial restrooms.

A More Sustainable Alternative to Paper Towels
