With 80% of infectious diseases spread by our hands, it's clear that washing them is important.
But when it comes to your hygiene and cleanliness, which method of drying is best?
Using a classic paper towel, or the hand dryer?
Well, you'll be happy to know that if you wash your hands properly with soap, nearly all traces of bacteria will be removed, regardless of how you dry them.
But it's when you don't wash properly, or even worse, only wash with water, that how you dry your hands can make all the difference.
After all, the spread of bacteria is more likely to occur with wet skin.
And rubbing your wet hands on your clothes or touching the bathroom door can often contaminate them even more.
It turns out, after multiple studies were analyzed and compared, paper towels came out victorious.
Why?
A lot of it has to do with timing.
