I saw one in an airport. I doubt they change then often enough to not go thoroughly a round or two 🤮
Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?
Hawke@lemmy.world 1 week agoEh, not really. Certainly not difficult.

They don’t go around more than once… there’s a take-up roll and the clean roll. Of course it also relies on someone changing it when it gets to the end…

That’s what they say…
Hawke@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I mean someone would still have to go and open it up, swap the rolls around, plus it wouldn’t work well since the towels don’t wind up cleanly in the cabinet and they’d still be wet.
If you’re gonna send someone in to do anything they might as well change the towels while they’re at it.

Nope, they never get changed. There’s gross
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Oh those were so gross. Nothing worse than trying to dry your hands on some wet towel used by thousands of previous hands.
Presumably they’re supposed to dry as you pull them through but they never did. Just sit there in the bathroom wet all day just growing whatever is floating around the bathroom air

That’s… not at all how those work. It’s literally a roll of clean dry towel.
If the towel is wet it’s because you didn’t pull out fresh towel and just decided to use old towel for some reason.
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 week ago
And yet they never worked that way. Sure sometimes they were at the end so you only had that to use and you never could tell how many days they were like that but otherwise you try pulling it and it’s all wet. I always assumed it was Chester to just turn it around at the end than to actually get a clean roll

Wtf is that

A towel dispenser?
black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
No shit I mean like, how is that not really gross? Does it clean the towel? Or move it from a clean to dirty compartment for someone to clean each day when it runs out? Isn’t it thicker than a paper towel, and therefore gonna run out faster?
Hawke@lemmy.world 1 week ago
It has a clean roll and a dirty roll. Someone takes out the dirty roll and replaces the clean roll periodically. Apparently they typically have about 30 meters of cloth, enough for about 200 uses.
How often that is, depends on how frequently it’s used.
There are cleaning services that wash the cloth and swap them for you.
