Since the first appearance of electronic hand dryers in bathrooms, humans have been asking the question, which one gets hands dry with less germs?  Finally, an expert from the University of Salford in Manchester, England tells us the scientifically better way to dry our hands.

If you use a paper towel, you'll probably leave a public bathroom with less germs on your hands.  But there's a catch.  You have to make sure your hands are completely dry.  Wet hands are far more likely to transmit germs.

The reason electronic hand dryers don't work is not because of the way they are designed, but because of the way humans use them.  Electronic hand dryers are really a better idea, and would be the more effective germ-free hand drying technique, if people used them properly.  The problem is, people don't dry long enough when using the electronic dryers.  The key is to remove all moisture.  If we used electronic hand dryers properly, they would probably win the argument.

Based on the way humans dry hands, paper wins!
