The Benefits of XLERATOR Hand Dryers Commercial restrooms say a lot about the facility they're located in -— if a guest perceives the space as dirty or unkept, they may think twice about coming back. Thankfully, facilities can put their best foot forward from the very beginning by replacing paper towels with XLERATOR® Hand Dryers by Excel Dryer — a more hygienic alternative that helps facilities save on operating costs and meet sustainability goals. It's time to throw in the towel and start reaping the many benefits of XLERATOR.

Saving Money and Time If you're looking to save money in the long run and spend less time on maintenance, installing XLERATOR Hand Dryers will help. With XLERATORs in the restroom, facilities can see a 95% cost savings versus paper towels, and staff will no longer have to spend precious time cleaning up dirty paper towel messes.

Keeping It Clean Unused paper towels may not be as clean as we might think. Consider a study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, where researchers found that paper towels made from recycled material host between 100 and 1,000-fold more bacteria than a wood pulp brand. So even when you've washed the germs off your hands, when you use paper towels, you might just be dirtying them all over again with a new mix of bacteria.

XLERATOR Hand Dyers take touch out of the hand drying process completely, using sensors to turn the unit on when it recognizes hands underneath. But the hygiene benefits of XLERATOR Hand Dryers don't stop there, as they can also help clear the air in the restroom through an optional HEPA filtration system—proven to remove 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of potentially present bacteria at 0.3 microns from the airstream.

Facilities from restaurants to even hospitals have trusted XLERATOR Hand Dryers to help provide a hygienic environment for their occupants. After its Infection Control board concluded that dryers with traditional high-velocity heated air streams were the most hygienic option, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago selected XLERATOR for installation in its restrooms.
