Excel Dryer revives the tiktoker discussion about hygiene in hand dryers and warns that they are safe.
The company conducted a study in order to prove that its devices are hygienic.
These types of videos emerged in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, where they sought to demonstrate how some companies were not careful enough with their cleaning products.
The Excel Dryer company decided to share a study with the intention of denying the accusations about the lack of hygiene in hand dryers, made by tiktokers. These types of videos went viral after confinement made people rethink their hygiene behaviors, which range from hand washing and contact with other living beings, to the kind of products we use in our daily lives.
The company was born in 1964 in Massachusetts. Since then, Excel Dryer has manufactured various items related to the hygiene industry. The company has been designated as the first of its kind to bet on products in favor of the environment. The bet of this company has been, according to information from some studies of the company in the United Kingdom, reaffirm consumer confidencereducing the carbon footprint by 70 percent, a fact that has put the paper towel industry in trouble. Hence, the question arose on social networks, especially on TikTok, about whether they were really as clean as they claimed..
Although the videos did not specifically focus on the brandit is clear that the “advertising” is negative and allegedly false, which is why the company recently decided to share a study, with the intention of eliminating this thinking and showing that hand dryers are safe and far more effective than paper towels . The answer was motivated by a specific video of the tiktoker @madmedicinewho shared a video about the danger of using a hand dryer to curl hair and how touch-free hand dryers don’t stop the spread of bacteria, they make it worse.
Several studies on the subject have emerged for some time, among them one carried out by the University of Connecticutwhere it is ensured that the hot air from the dryers throws bacteria directly into the hands of consumers, so the distrust in this type of product has decreased and more and more users have stopped using them to replace them with the paper towels.

It was also read that the researchers who found that paper towels had a greater effect on hygiene were largely sharing false data, so there is really no really compelling rationale for their research.
