Which is the best way to dry your hands in the bathroom?

Question

In the bathroom at my office I can use paper towels or a hot air blower. Which is the most environmentally friendly?

Answer 1

your shirt?

Answer 2

The blow dryer is more environmentally friendly.  It uses power, but not as much power as they use to manufacture the paper towels (not to mention the paper itself).

Answer 3

your pant leg....always

Answer 4

you mean to tell me that you actually wash your hands in the bathroom?

Answer 5

Blow dryers are more environmentally friendly, but spread a lot of germs.  I recommend trying to be environmentally friendly in other areas.

Answer 6

what I do is just leave it wet and kind of wipe it on my clothes...

Answer 7

Hand blow dryers do not spread germs, they are much more sanitary and convienent that paper towels. Heres the most hygenic, sanitary way to wash you hands with paper towels:

1. turn on the faucet.

2. rinse hands.

3. apply soap.

4. lather for 20 seconds (sing happy birthday or your abc'c)

5. grab a paper towel and use it to turn off the faucet.

6. grab a second paper towel and dry your hands.

7. use that same paper towel to open the door and then throw it away. avoid touching anything and then your face.

Hope this helps=]
