Paper towels may be more hygienic
Study by Queensland University of Technology wades into the age old debate
Paper consumable manufacturers will be high fiving their colleagues this week after an Australian University and other organisations in Australia and China published their reports on the spread/elimination of bacteria after washing your hands.
The study is from 2012 so it's hitting the airwaves a little late but then again, what's changed in a year in the world of hand drying? (don't mention the Dyson Airblade Tap!).
Benefits
The report found that the main advantages of hand towels were;
- Dry hands more quickly
- Removes more bacteria
- Less chance of cross-contamination
