An overwhelming majority of people (79 percent) prefer touchless towel dispensers to air dryers(1) according to the "Washroom Product Study," developed by Georgia-Pacific Professional, and conducted by Housekeeping Solutions magazine. Additionally, research compiled by the European Tissue Symposium, an international trade organization in which Georgia-Pacific Professional is a member, revealed that paper towels can reduce up to 77 percent of bacteria present on hands after washing(2).
These two studies support Georgia-Pacific Professional's commitment to providing hygienic product solutions that create safer away-from-home washroom experiences for users and facility employees.
"We commissioned this study to understand what makes users feel comfortable when visiting washrooms while away from home," says Alex Volpe, director - towel category for Georgia-Pacific Professional. "The results reinforce our company's ongoing philosophy that washroom guests, as well as the facility professionals, seek out clean and hygienic environments."
