Not the Hand Dryers Again


I recently returned from a trip to D.C. with my husband and youngest child. D.C. is a great place to take a school-age child for a sightseeing trip. It’s educational, exciting, and if you go during the cherry blossoms as we did, beautiful. The only drawback was that no matter where we went in our nation’s capital, the restrooms were only equipped with electric hand dryers. There was not a paper towel to be had. I suppose this was in an effort to be more green, which I am almost always for. But I draw the line when, well, it’s just plain gross. In case you didn’t realize it, electric hand dryers blow bacteria all over your hands. If you want more information, please check out my article on Electric Hand Dryer vs. Paper Towels.
