CLEANING & HYGIENE "Given that we touch up to
300 different surfaces every 30 minutes, and 80% of communicable diseases are
transferred by touch, it’s easy to see how effective hand hygiene can be in the fight against the infection spread".
them, you are picking up more bacteria. Equally, waving away the water, leaving damp hands, does little on the infection- control front.
Put simply, drying your hands is just as important as washing them. So why is hand drying so oſten ignored? In my experience, it usually comes down to poor, unhygienic washroom facilities. To encourage a proper hand hygiene regime, washrooms need to be inviting and kitted out with efficient and durable facilities.
At Airdri, we are firm believers that hand dryers are the answer to this challenge, with durability being a key factor. Opting for a robust model that will stand the test of time will not only keep running costs to a minimum, but will also reduce the number of machines sent to landfill.
We have spent the past four decades improving the lifespan of our machines by eliminating problems relating to the wear and tear of motor brushes. Using the latest motor technology, our fast-dry models last six times longer than other similar units when placed on lifecycle testing. Indeed, our Quantum jet dryer goes even further, lasting for over 10,000 hours.
We should guide users towards electric hand dryers, making them aware of the environmental benefits they offer, thus helping them to make a truly sustainable choice. Look for a dryer that has achieved the GreenSpec status for using less than 1,000 watts. Both our Quantum and Quazar models have this seal of approval. In fact, the Quantum is the lowest energy consumption unit in the world, emitting just 200 watts.
KEEPING IT CLEAN
You may have furnished your washroom with the facilities to promote healthy hand hygiene, but keeping on top of the overall cleanliness of the washroom environment is the crucial last step. Poorly maintained washrooms are a hotbed for germs and can present a major problem in the midst of an outbreak like coronavirus.
Airdri has recently added the Airdri Air Purifier to its portfolio, following extensive research into the most effective infection control solution for the washroom environment. The Purifier uses five techniques proven to kill up to 98.11% of viruses and bacteria found in the air and on exposed washroom surfaces.

Airdri has already installed the product in its two production facilities in China and its UK headquarters to protect its staff.
Never has it been more important to do everything possible to try to reduce the risk of the spread of infection. Ensuring that a washroom is equipped with the right equipment, and that people are well educated on the correct practices and procedures is key to winning the war on infection.
