Research: The slowness of old-fashioned machines is a major reason why most people don’t dry their hands properly. Men are worse offenders than women. The under-35s are the most impatient of all.
Research carried out by BMRB International for Dyson reveals that nine women out of ten wash their hands every time after visiting the loo when out and about – but only three men in every four.
But far fewer people dry their hands – and only half of those do so effectively. A staggering 78 per cent admit that their hands are either wet or not completely dry when they finish.
The under-35s are much less bothered about washing and drying their hands than their elders.
Most people wrongly imagine that electric hand dryers are more hygienic than paper towels. Men are more likely to make this mistake than women. Few people realise that damp hands are 1,000 times more likely to attract and spread bacteria.
Women are more likely than men to prefer paper towels over hand dryers.
