What to consider first

When looking at making the choice between paper towels and an XLERATOR hand dryer, you will want to think about how often your restroom will be used. A medium-sized facility will get about 250 uses per day. You will also want to consider the cost of the paper towels, the garbage bags, and the maintenance which can add up quickly over time.

Paper Towels

The monthly costs for paper towels are relatively low but they can add up quickly over time. The cost of paper towels also varies by brand, quality, and size and can be up to $40 per case of 12 packs. If you have a medium-sized business you can expect to use about a pack per day, costing you more than $80 a month for just paper towels. Then you have to worry about waste, typically people use 2 or 3 towels per visit, but some can use much more resulting in lots of wasted paper towels. You also must restock them daily and remove any trash and debris from the floor costing you time and money in the long run.

Hand Dryers

An XLERATOR Hand Dryer can cost significantly more than a paper towel dispenser. This initial cost is what deters most people from purchasing one for their facility. In reality, you can pay off your hand dryer in as little as 10 months (in a medium use facility) when you compare the costs of using an XLERATOR hand dryer versus using paper towels.
