re: Electric Hand Dryers at Home?

Cut down on towels...and hike up power usage?

After you wash your hands you should use a paper towel or other to turn off the water, then use it to open the bathroom door, this prevents contamination of,your hands from those that uses the bathroom before you if they didn't wash their hands. If not done at home, should always be done in a public bathroom. Blow dryers are a waste and do nothing to prevent recontamination of hands that have just been washed. I avoid eating in restaurants with blow dryers and no paper towels in the rest rooms. Employees use the same facilities that the public uses.
