Why Use a Hand Dryer?

According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, shopping malls are where you can find big crowds, enabling them to be “prime locations” for the spread of microorganisms. Washing your hands frequently is a must, but germs are spread more easily if you don’t dry your hands thereafter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reiterates. Hand dryers are beneficial not only in malls, but also in schools, airports, and other public spaces.

The Proper Ways on How to Dry Out Hands With a Hand Dryer

1. Rubbing Your Hands Together Under the Hand Dryer

Think of this as like rubbing your hands when washing them traditionally with soap and water. Rubbing the hands together under the hand dryer allows the warm air to reach in-between fingers and even under the nails, promoting efficient drying and hygiene.

2. Forward and Backward, While Hands Are Apart in or Beneath the Hand Dryer

If the first way seems a bit tasking for you, you can place your hands underneath the hand dryer, rotating your hands forwards and backgrounds while apart. This also ensures thorough drying which works best when removing water and moisture.

3. Mitsubishi’s Jidō Kansō Movement

Developed by Mitsubishi exclusively for drying hands using a hand dryer, the Jidō Kansō movement involves circular hand movements to scrape water away, which also act as dual purpose to prevent wet floors that may lead to accidents.

It works depending on the type of hand dryer:

• For hands-in dryers, place your hands from the sides, drawing them up and letting the air push the water off.
• For hands-under dryers, do the movement horizontally, drawing circles and turning the hands over like flipping pancakes.

4. With Manual Rubbing of the Hands Using a Paper Towel or Cloth Towel

While the ulterior motive of commercial hand dryers is to help you dry your hands without using a paper towel or cloth, you can practice better hygiene when you wipe excess water using a paper towel after you use the hand dryer. Nevertheless, this is optional.
