Clean and caring

Protecting children is important to us – that’s why our child friendly hand dryers are designed to actively maintain washroom hygiene and help in the fight against harmful germs. 

With a self-cleaning HEPA filter, our Airbox H child friendly hand dryer contains UV diodes which irradiate germicidal particles caught inside the machine, lengthening its life. This also reduces the build-up of mould and other harmful residues, meaning your washroom remains a safe environment for children of all ages.

When children don’t dry their hands, they’re exposing themselves to possible bacterial infections and other illnesses. To get them into the habit, it’s crucial for them to learn that hand dryers are safe and not a threat. 

Quiet, gentle and visually appealing – we’ve designed our child friendly hand dryers to be approachable and enjoyable to use. 

Are hand dryers safe to use for children?

Children are sensitive to sudden loud noises – something that many of the powerful hand dryers on the market today are guilty of. 

Wet hands provide a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. It’s vital that children feel safe and confident to use a hand dryer. Some children are startled by a loud dryer. They may clamp their hands over their ears – or worse, avoid washing and drying their hands altogether. 

To make your hand dryers safe to use for little ones, it’s important to check the product information carefully to ensure that they have a low noise output. 

A dryer noise level of approximately 70 dB or less is tolerable for kids. To produce dry hands and happy faces all round, TOTO hand dryers make a barely audible 57–58 dB of noise. Now that’s super quiet. 

Are hand dryers healthy to use?

Dubbed ‘bacteria catapults’ by some, hand dryers are actually just as healthy and hygienic to use as paper towels – which many still believe to be more effective at containing the spread of germs. 

Many modern hand dryers are fitted with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. The filter removes over 99% of harmful airborne particles from the air before it flows out of the dryer.

Surrounded by easy-to-clean casings made from materials such as polypropylene and stainless steel, bacteria has a hard time sticking to a hand dryer. This makes the hand dryer a perfectly healthy choice for school bathrooms and other child-friendly environments.
