Make the Safer Choice

The people have spoken. And they no longer feel safe using air hand dryers

June 15, 2020

In a recent study*, 70% of the respondents agree with the statement “I wish more facilities offered paper hand towels as an alternative to air dryers” and as many as 33% “feel unsafe entering a washroom with air dryers”. And the fact is that jet air dryers spread up to 10x more germs in the environment**. This has become a recurring problem facing facility managers all over the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thankfully, there’s an easy solution. The Tork PeakServe® Continuous hand towel system is a hygienic, single-user touch system that uses 50% compressed bundles to offer the highest capacity on the market, making sure that hand towels are always available.

Quick wins

  • Make your users feel safe. Paper towels are the most hygienic way to dry hands and are therefore recommended in hygiene-critical environments***
  • Much faster than air dryers. When your users can quickly grab a towel and move on, you avoid lines and promote better hand hygiene and social distancing
  • Thanks to the extended family of Tork PeakServe dispensers, you can serve restrooms with different traffic flows, layouts and sizes with the same refill, making life easier for cleaners
