Tork Safer Choice

As a hygiene expert, Tork, an Essity brand recognizes that paper towels are the most effective hand-drying solution – and, this is based on preference and science. Did you know:

• End-users prefer paper towels over air dryers: 70% wish more facilities offered paper towels
• Jet air dryers are not as hygienic: can spread up to 10x more germs
• Paper towels offer multi-uses beyond drying hands: use towels to avoid touching common surfaces in restrooms

We also have a new web page to support our Safer Choice campaign – check it out here:  https://www.torkusa.com/saferchoice

Remember, as businesses begin to open back up, some regulations/States are banning the use of air dryers in certain segments – this means opportunities for hand towel systems like Tork PeakServe) towel systems.
