Don't Blow It!

With the Covid-19 pandemic affecting people worldwide, there has been a spotlight on the correct technique for washing your hands. 

By now, we all know that proper handwashing is critical to reducing the spread of germs & bacteria. But as research proves, so is hand drying. The science is clear— after washing your hands, single-use paper towels are a very effective way to remove lingering viruses and bacteria and prevent the spread of germs.*

Paper Hand Towel usage is often much faster & accessible than electric hand dryers, especially in high-traffic washrooms.

So don’t blow it! To help reduce cross-contamination and contribute to a more hygienic facility, it’s time to unplug those hand air dryers and use Livi hand towels and dispensers.
