Are hand dryers sanitary?
Hand dryers have been a subject of debate regarding bacterial contamination.

With the modern advances in hand drying technology certain models contain special filters that remove 99.95% of particles. Rest assured our Drysonic units Include such filters.
Are hand dryers environmentally friendly?
Hand dryers are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly compared to paper towels. They eliminate the need for paper production, transportation, and disposal, thus reducing overall waste. Additionally, energy-efficient hand dryers consume less energy over their lifespan, further contributing to environmental sustainability.
What is a HEPA Filter?
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. A HEPA filter is a type of air filter that can trap a high percentage of particles, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and other airborne pollutants, down to a size of 0.3 microns. These filters are commonly used in air purifiers and vacuum cleaners to improve indoor air quality by capturing harmful particles and allergens. For more information on HEPA filters click here.
