Scientific Study Proves Once and for All That Paper Towels Are Better Than Hot Air Dryers On Every Count

I heard on today's Dinner Party, KPCC, that paper towels beat hot air dryers, which is cited from the Conversable Economist.

I agree 1000%, in fact this is a pet peeve of mine. When I'm in a public restroom, I like to splash water on my face to freshen up as well as washing my hands. If there's no paper towels I have to use my hankerchief or my sleeve, or worse, toilet paper to dry my face.

Some of the manufacturers of these dryers put a plate on the device, with instructions. Inevitably, someone always add one more instruction to the list: "Wipe Hands on Pants."

I think they have missed the best option, a pile of clean fluffy white towels. OK it was a very expensive restaurant and I could have done without the guy trying to spray everyone with a choice of about twenty aftershaves!
