More reasons to say — Dude, wash your hands

PHS Washrooms, based in Wales, has launched a world first in low energy hand-dryers – Airforcetm — claiming that 22 percent of people in Wales fail to wash their hands after going to the loo, men are worse than women, and England is worse than Wales.

According to the survey, 24 percent of people have witnessed people leaving the toilet daily without a visit to the sink – almost a third (29 percent) in the gents and just under 20 pecrent in the ladies.

In England, just under a quarter (24 percent) have witnessed daily ‘leavers’, whereas in Wales the figure is just over a fifth (22 percent).

The story says that Airforce has been designed by the world leader in hand dryers – World Dryer, in partnership with PHS Washrooms, the UK leading washroom services provider.

The friction from drying hands with paper towel works better.
