Hygiene
If a hand dryer doesn't have the NSF logo on it, it's not
certified hygienic.
NSF International, leading independent public health specialists, agree that the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the only hygienic hand dryer and the first to meet NSF Protocol P335.
Dirty air in, clean air out
A HEPA filter removes 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry hands.
No hand rubbing
Users don't need to rub their hands together. Bacteria in lower skin layers are therefore not brought to the surface.
Speed of drying
The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer takes just 12 seconds to dry hands.
Anti-microbial coating
External surfaces are infused with anti-microbial additives.
What is NSF Protocol P335?
The protocol sets out the standards a hand dryer must meet to be considered hygienic.
The criteria for a hygienic hand dryer include:
- Air filtration – Dust and bacteria must be removed from the air used to dry hands.
- Unheated air – The air used shouldn’t be heated up. Warming moist bacteria can increase their reproduction rate. Warm or hot air can remove beneficial oils from the skin.
- Drying time – Hands must be dried in 15 seconds or under. Damp hands pick up and transfer up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands.
- Touch-free operation – The hand dryer must start and stop automatically.
Only the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer meets all these criteria for a hygienic hand dryer.
