Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?

That Harvard article is what I linked above. It’s where I found that the HEPA filter on the intake works well to reduce bacterial spread.

You gave the article a good and proper skim reading! Anything more in-depth is overkill. You got the gist of it that’s enough lol
